FORMER England Test cricketer and Channel Nine commentator Tony Greig has revealed he has been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer and needs to have a biopsy later this week to gauge the extent of the cancer and what treatment would be required.
Greig, who was a driving force for the formation of Kerry Packer’s rebel World Series Cricket competition in the late 1970s, realised he had something wrong with him when he commentated during the recent Australia-Pakistan one-day series staged in Dubai.
The 66-year-old was initially diagnosed with bronchitis in May but he became concerned when the condition didn’t improve, according to a News Ltd report. Doctors discovered a small lesion on the base of his right lung earlier this month. He had an excessive amount of fluid removed from the lung a fortnight ago and tests revealed he had lung cancer. The South African-born Greig vowed to fight the cancer.
