[size=3]Surrey cricketer Tom Maynard has died after being struck by a London Underground train, it has been confirmed.

The batsman, 23, from Cardiff played for his county in the t20 game against Kent on Sunday.

The incident happened at Wimbledon station on Monday.

Maynard, who came through the ranks at Glamorgan, joined Surrey at the start of last season.

He left after his father Matthew's departure from the Welsh county in 2010 after claiming his position had become "untenable".

In a statement, Surrey said Maynard was "an incredibly talented young batsman".

"His future potential was unlimited, with experts both inside and outside the club predicting he would soon follow in the footsteps of his father Matthew by graduating to full England honours," it said.

Surrey Chairman Richard Thompson said: "Our thoughts at this awful time are with Tom's family and friends and all those that were close to him.

"Tom Maynard was a prodigiously talented young batsman who had made an incredible start to his career and was clearly destined for far greater things.

"The impact Tom made in such a short period of time for Surrey CCC spoke for itself. There is a profound sense of loss at the passing of Tom. To lose anybody at such a young age is an utterly senseless tragedy."

ECB Chairman Giles Clarke said: "This is a very sad day for everyone connected with Surrey County Cricket club and for Glamorgan County Cricket club where Tom spent the early part of his career.

"Tom was a player of enormous potential who had already represented England Lions and had an exciting future ahead of him. Our hearts go out to the Maynard family for their tragic loss and we send them and all Tom's many friends and colleagues within the game our deepest sympathies."

Surrey's Friends Life t20 game against the Hampshire Royals at the Kia Oval on Wednesday has been postponed.

England hopeful Tom, 23, was found dead on Tube tracks after running from his sporty Mercedes when police pulled him over for driving erratically.

The tragedy happened hours after rising star Tom, son of ex-England batsman Matthew, played for Surrey in a T20 match against Kent.

It is believed he was driving to see girlfriend Carly Baker at her home in Wimbledon, South West London.

Model Carly, 30, poured out her grief online, writing: “My beautiful boyfriend Tom Maynard, I can’t cope with this. I love you always and forever. You meant everything to me.

“You’re the most special man I have ever met. You made me the happiest girl. I love you always.” Tom’s dad Matthew, 45, teacher mum Sue, 51, and sister Ceri, 19, were said to be distraught
