Sam Billings has revealed he needed two operations to remove skin cancer, and has urged the rest of the cricket community to stay informed on the dangers of not using sun cream.
The wicketkeeper, 31, had the treatment in the same month that his international colleagues took part in the T20 World Cup. He has shared details of the small margins involved, having opted against delaying seeking medical attention.
Billings was back in action not long after his operations, playing against Australia in November. Now, though, the Kent star has attempted to remind others in the sport of the dangers.
