Former Zimbabwe all-rounder and national team coach Kevin Curran has died after collapsing while jogging. He was 53. Zimbabwe Cricket said Curran, whose latest role had been as a national team selector, died early on Wednesday morning in the eastern city of Mutare. The cause of death was not yet known but a heart attack was suspected.
Curran also coached domestic team Mashonaland Eagles, who were in Mutare to play Manicaland Mountaineers in a one-dayer and Twenty20 game when he died. Those fixtures were canceled.
A right-handed middle-order batsman and fast-medium bowler, Curran played 11 ODIs and appeared in 1983 and 1987 cricket World Cups. He also played for English county sides Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire.
