IPL 2022 Auctioneer Hugh Edmeades Collapsing Mid-Event

Veteran auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed while conducting the first session of the Indian Premier League auction on Saturday but was found to be "doing fine" after a medical check-up. The 60-year-old's collapse midway into proceedings led to an early lunch at the ongoing event. "He has been attended to by a doctor. He is doing fine, his blood pressure dropped suddenly and that was the reason for his sudden collapse. We will know more once he has a thorough check-up," a BCCI source told PTI.
