Netherlands coach Ryan Campbell is in a stable condition and is out of sedation, his family announced through the Australian Cricketers' Association on Sunday.
Campbell suffered a heart attack last Saturday and was in intensive care in an induced coma. Four days later, his brother Mark Campbell revealed that he was out of coma and was breathing on his own.

"The family is thrilled to announce that this afternoon the incredible staff at the Royal Stoke University Hospital successfully discontinued Ryan's sedation," the statement, shared on social media, said.
"He has reacted very well and is now in a stable condition. Whilst still very weak he is talking and responsive. Doctors hope that with continued progress he should make a full recovery."
The former Australian ODI wicketkeeper was appointed as the coach of Netherlands in 2017 and has been at the helm since, helping the team win the ODI status as well as make the men's T20 World Cup last year.
