"They're not sure now why his heart is still being arrhythmic. So that's another issue that they're now going to look at over there."
Campbell, who was appointed as the Dutch coach in 2017, was returning to Europe after the Netherlands' tour of New Zealand. He played for Hong Kong in the 2016 T20 World Cup in India at the age of 44.
