Former Australia international Ryan Campbell is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a heart attack.
Campbell was placed in an induced coma by doctors after collapsing last weekend, and has spent time in intensive care in hospital in the UK.
However, he came out of heavy sedation earlier in the week and, on Sunday, Campbell's family released a statement via the Australian Cricketers' Association which was full of optimism for the future.

"The family is thrilled to announce that this afternoon the incredible staff at the Royal Stoke University Hospital successfully discontinued Ryan's sedation," the statement read.
"He has reacted very well and is now in a stable condition. Whilst still very weak he is talking and responsive.
"Doctors hope that with continued progress he should make a full recovery."
Campbell made two ODI appearances for Australia and is the current head coach of the Netherlands men's senior side.
