This morning at The Oval Surrey, where Surrey are playing Hampshire in the country championship, flags were flying high before the club chair Oli Slipper shared a heartfelt tribute.

He said: “The sincere condolences of everyone at Surrey County Cricket Club are with Alec and the whole Stewart family.

“Our very best wishes are with the family and we will continue to offer any support to them that we are able to.

“In the meantime, we ask that people respect their privacy at this difficult time.”
