Netherlands coach and former Australia wicketkeeper Ryan Campbell is in ICU in a UK emergency clinic in the wake of experiencing a cardiovascular failure on Saturday. The 50-year-old was at a playground with his young ones at the end of the week when he fell. However, the news was first uncovered by an Australian columnist and Campbell's dear companion, Gareth Parker.

Campbell had been going to Europe from the Netherlands team's visit through New Zealand. He had also visited his companions, including Parker, and more distant family in his home city of Perth.

Campbell played two ODIs for Australia in 2002 in the absence of best option wicketkeeper-player Adam Gilchrist. Adam was on parental leave at that time.

He has been the coach of the Dutch national side beginning around 2017. Moreover, as a player addressed both Australia and Hong Kong at a worldwide level. He highlighted for the last option in the 2016 Men's T20 World Cup, turning into the oldest player to make his T20I debut at that point, at 44 years old years and 30 days.
