Former England all-rounder David Capel dies aged 57

Ex-England all-rounder David Capel has died aged 57 following a long illness, his former county Northamptonshire announced on Wednesday. Capel, who played 15 Tests and 23 one-day internationals between 1987 and 1990, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2018. The club said on their Twitter account: "It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we announce the death of former Northamptonshire and England great David Capel at the age of 57."

Capel, who was one of a number of all-rounders burdened with the tag of being the "new Ian Botham", made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1987, scoring a half-century.

He was also part of the England team that produced a huge shock by beating the powerful West Indies in Jamaica in 1990.
