Alec Stewart, the former England wicketkeeper and Director of Cricket at Surrey, has announced his decision to leave his position at the end of the 2024 season. Stewart, who has held the role for 11 years, is stepping down to spend more time with his family, specifically to support his wife, who has been battling cancer since 2013. During his tenure, Stewart led Surrey to three County Championship titles and was instrumental in the development of nine players who went on to represent England. His departure has been met with disappointment from players, with many recognizing his significant contributions to the club and the sport at large.
