Graham Thorpe played 100 Tests for his country in his 13-year international career.
He made his first-class debut aged 18 for Surrey against Leicestershire in June 1988.
He finally made his England debut at the age of 24, scoring 114 on debut against Australia at Trent Bridge in 1993.
Oli Slipper, Chair at Surrey County Cricket Club has paid tribute on behalf of the club.
He says “Graham is one of the great sons of Surrey and there is an overwhelming sadness that he will not walk through the gates of the Oval again.
He is a legend of Surrey and brought great pride to the Club wearing both the Three Feathers and the Three Lions.
Thorpe captained England on three occasions and served in various coaching roles for his country between 2010 and 2022.
