Former New Zealand cricket all-rounder Chris Cairns is on life support at a Canberra hospital after recently collapsing with a health problem in Australia, New Zealand media reported on Tuesday.
Cairns had undergone several operations after suffering a heart problem but had not responded to treatment as hoped, Newshub reported.
The 51-year-old is the son of Black Cap legend Lance Cairns and was one of the best all-rounders of his generation. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.
He represented New Zealand in 62 Tests, 215 ODIs as well as two T20s between 1989 to 2006.
