Alan Igglesden, the former England and Kent seamer, was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1999. He seemed to have won the battle with the cricket-ball sized tumour, but in 2009 the tumour began to grow again and Igglesden had to undergo a major brain operation. Yorkshire Cricket has his story.
