Hollioake’s debts estimated at $22m

ENGLAND’S former captain, Adam Hollioake, has appeared in an Australian court over debts estimated at A$23 million ($22 million) after the property development company he ran in Perth with his father, John, went bankrupt after he retired from cricket. Hollioake, whose company has been declared bankrupt, has appeared in court to answer questions about his financial affairs and to confirm how much money he owed to about 40 creditors, including another England captain, his Surrey and England team-mate, Alec Stewart. Hollioake, 40, told the Daily Mail that he was a victim of the financial crisis, stating: “Alec understands the position I got myself into, as do the other creditors, apart from one who is determined to stamp me into the ground.
