DURBAN, South Africa -- International Cricket Council president Percy Sonn is gravely ill in hospital after surgery, his personal assistant said on Tuesday.

"He was admitted to hospital on Monday last week (May 14) for serious but routine surgery, but complications set in afterwards and he has deteriorated since then."

Hector said the family preferred to keep the details private.

"He is heavily sedated at the moment and unable to communicate," he added.
