Jane McGrath, the wife of former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath, died on Sunday after a long battle with breast cancer, Cricket Australia announced. Jane, 42, died peacefully at her Sydney home with her husband and their children by her side after her health had suddenly deteriorated in the past week following surgery earlier this year. “It is with deep sadness that the family and friends of Jane McGrath, beloved wife of former Australian cricketer Glenn and loving mother of James and Holly, must announce she passed away at her home this morning,” said a statement released by Cricket Australia. English-born Jane's long battle with cancer has been headline news in Australia for the past decade because of her marriage to McGrath, one of Australia's most successful and popular sportsmen, and their promotion of breast cancer awareness.
