Former Test wicket-keeper Rod Marsh is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack.
The 74-year-old was in Bundaberg, Queensland for a Bulls Masters charity event when he fell ill before being transported to hospital by Bulls Masters organisers John Glanville and David Hillier.
Bulls Masters boss Jimmy Maher told News Corp doctors said Marsh may not have survived if they had waited for an ambulance.
The Western Australian, nicknamed "Bacchus", featured in 96 Tests for Australia in the seventies and eighties, claiming 355 dismissals, while scoring 3633 runs at 26.51.
Marsh served as chair of selectors for the men's national team before stepping down in 2016.
Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley said the news of his heart attack was concerning.
"We are very concerned to hear the news about Rod and send him all our best wishes," Hockley said.
"Our thoughts are with him, his wife Ros and their family and many friends at this difficult time. Rod is one of the most iconic and popular figures in the game and we thank and acknowledge those who are looking after him."
