Andrew Strauss' wife Ruth has died at the age of 46 after battling a rare form of lung cancer. Ruth was diagnosed in December 2017 when her husband was out in Australia, where she was born, for England's Ashes tour. He left the tour immediately and consequently stepped down from his role as director of cricket in May this year. On Saturday morning, the former England captain said in a statement: 'It gave us huge comfort that she was in Australia, the land of her birth, surrounded by those who love her, in her final moments.'
