The road back for Malcolm - Alan Lee
ENGLAND`S selectors have given some strong hints regarding their
winter touring party with a 13-man A team squad for two one-day
matches against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford next week.
Mike Watkinson, the Lancashire all-rounder, and Steve Marsh,
Kent`s wicketkeeper-batsman, are significant inclusions in a par-
ty designed with the World Cup in mind. Three recent Test
players, Hick, Malcolm and Illingworth, are also reintroduced.
The side will be captained not by Neil Fairbrother, as was
widely predicted, but by Martyn Moxon of Yorkshire.
ENGLAND A: M D Moxon (Yorkshire, captain), G A Hick (Wor-
cestershire), T R Ward (Kent), N H Fairbrother (Lancashire), N
Hussain (Essex), P Johnson (Nottinghamshire), M Watkinson (Lan-
cashire), S A Marsh (Kent), R K Illingworth (Worcestershire), R A
Pick (Nottinghamshire), D G Cork (Derbyshire), P M Such (Essex),
D E Malcolm (Derbyshire).
