Namibia's Van Schoor dies after on-field stroke

Namibia wicketkeeper-batsman Raymond van Schoor has died in Windhoek at age 25, five days after suffering a stroke during a match.

Van Schoor was batting on 15 during Namibia's five-wicket win over Free State in a CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge contest when he collapsed on field and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Van Schoor remained hospitalised since then but never recovered and was pronounced dead on Friday night.
