ODI World Cup: Former England captain Alec Stewart will resume his full-time role as Surrey’s director of cricket after stepping back from it last year to care for his wife Lynn.

Stewart, 62, had continued in a high performance advisory capacity for Surrey with a reduced workload to support Lynn, who passed away in April this year after a long battle with cancer.

“Surrey has always been my home and I am now ready to return to full time duties with the Club again. My priorities have always been to support the cricket management team and the squad to be the best county in the country, to bring cricketers into our professional squad through our pathway system and help players to fulfil their dreams of representing their country,” said Stewart in a statement on Monday.
