England, India Honor Graham Thorpe at Oval Test
The fifth Test between England and India at The Oval featured a heartfelt tribute to former England batter and coach Graham Thorpe on what would have been his 56th birthday, marking a year since his death by suicide. Players from both teams, including India's Mohammed Siraj, wore white headbands to honor Thorpe, and the initiative raised over £100,000 for the mental health charity Mind. Thorpe's wife and daughter rang the bell before play, and fans joined in with a standing ovation. Current players like Ben Stokes and Joe Root reflected on Thorpe's profound influence on English cricket. The England and Wales Cricket Board and Surrey paid tribute through social media and public art. The commemorations also drew attention to ongoing concerns about mental health support in professional sports, highlighted by the coroner's finding of shortcomings in Thorpe's care.
