Thorpe needed more support, says wife
Grimsby Telegraph
|November 26, 2025
CRICKET Graham Thorpe's widow believes he would still be alive if there had been more support from the England and Wales Cricket Board after he left his coaching role with the governing body.
-
Thorpe - one of the most respected batters of his generation and a former England assistant coach ~ took his own life in August last year after a long battle with anxiety and depression.
In July 2025, an inquest at Surrey Coroner's Court in Woking heard Thorpe had “spiralled into depression" after losing his job as a batting coach in 2022 following an Ashes defeat in Australia, and he had tried to take his own life on another occasion.
