Darren Lehmann to have heart bypass surgery
Former Australia batsman and coach Darren Lehmann will have a heart bypass operation after falling ill on Wednesday, his 50th birthday.
Lehmann suffered chest pains while watching his son Jake, 27, captain a Cricket Australia XI against England Lions on the Gold Coast.
Lehmann, who played in 27 Tests, will have surgery in Brisbane on Saturday.
"I would like to thank everyone in the Australian cricket family for their concern," he said.

"I am receiving the best of medical care and am confident I'll be back on my feet soon."
Lehmann, who also played in 117 one-day internationals and helped Australia win two World Cups, coached the national team from 2013 to 2018.
He returned to coaching for the latest Big Bash League, which concludes on Saturday, but failed to lead Brisbane Heat into the play-off phase.
