Former England batsman James Taylor has been released from hospital after completing the initial phase of treatment for the heart condition which cut short his career. The 26-year-old Nottinghamshire middle-order shotmaker announced his retirement from cricket last week after being diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a condition that stops the right side of the heart pumping blood properly and may lead to sudden death.
Taylor spent two weeks in hospital but tweeted a photograph of himself outside the hospital building on Thursday saying: "Well, that has been one hell of an experience! What a beautiful day." Meanwhile a statement on Nottinghamshire's website on Friday said: "James Taylor, the Nottinghamshire and England batsman who was recently forced to retire from cricket through illness, is now continuing his recovery at home. "The 26-year-old has undergone a preliminary procedure in hospital and will continue to be tested and monitored to determine future treatment.
