Dominic Cork has set his sights on the next World Cup
following his recall to the England one-day squad.
Cork has not played a limited overs international
since New Zealand in 1997 but hopes his inclusion for
this summer's triangular series is a sign of better
things to come.
"I am looking for a place in the World Cup in
2003," Cork said. "I played in the one in India,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka and I would like to repeat that
experience.
"I am chuffed that I am getting another go. I am
probably a little bit fortunate with one or two
injuries, notably to Craig White, that I've got in but
I'd like to prove in England colours that I can play
one day cricket."
Today's call-up for the games against Australia and
Pakistan next month completes a successful England
comeback for Cork.
He regained his place in the Test squad and was
awarded a central contract after proving he had made a
full recovery from the back injury that cut short his
tour to Pakistan last winter.
