Marshall has tumour removed
The West Indies coach, Malcolm Marshall, is recovering in hospital after having a tumour removed from his colon. Rudi Webster, the squad's team doctor, said that Marshall, who has been temporarily replaced by the former Test batsman Viv Richards, faced a period of convalescence before starting chemotherapy treatment. "He is making excellent progress. Mr Marshall has taken the events of the last fortnight with courage, fortitude and exceptional inner strength," Webster said. Marshall has been in contact with Richards to discuss tactics and strategy for West Indies' World Cup campaign, which continues today when they face Australia. "Mr Marshall has expressed the wish that if his treatment goes well he will resume his duties later in the summer," Webster concluded. Meanwhile, Ann MacLaurin, the wife of the England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, has died suddenly while on holiday with her husband in Spain.
