Surrey have confirmed that England Lions cricketer Tom Maynard has died aged just 23.
The right-handed batsman, son of former England opener Matthew Maynard, began his professional career at Glamorgan, making his debut against Somerset in 2007.
However following his father's acrimonious split from the Welsh county, Maynard opted to sign a three-year deal with Surrey in 2011.
Maynard made a big impression at the Oval - especially in the limited overs games - with his form earning him a call-up for the England Performance squad's winter tour to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
In his first season at Surrey, Maynard helped guide the club to the CB 40 ***le and promotion back to Division One of the County Championship.
I used to play cricket with Tom on the outfeilds of Taunton, Sophia Gardens and St. Helens when we were young kids. It's scary, shocking and devastating news. RIP Tom
