Former Australia batter Damien Martyn has woken up from an induced coma and is making a "miraculous" recovery after he was diagnosed with meningitis just over a week ago, BBC reported.
The 54-year-old, who played 67 Test matches between 1992 and 2006, fell ill late last month and was admitted to a Queensland hospital on 27 December.
In a statement on behalf of Martyn's family, close friend and former Australia teammate Adam Gilchrist said on Sunday: "It's been an unbelievable turn of events in the last 48 hours."
