Albie Morkel returns home upon Louis Vorster’s death – Cricket News Roundup – April 19, 2012 - Part 2
Chennai Super Kings all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Louis-Phillippus-Vorster-c73195, who died after being shot by robbers in Gauteng.
Vorster, 45, had represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Namibia-c2964. He later worked in developing young players. When hearing about the death, Morkel tweeted, “Tonight I'm crying like a baby! Lost a great friend!
The 30-year-old has flown back to his native country and will return for the latter stages of the on-going Indian Premier League. However, his comeback date is yet to be specified.
Worcestershire has confirmed that Pakistani off-spinner, Saeed Ajmal, will not be plying his trade in the English domestic this season due to international commitments.
The English county wanted Ajmal as their second overseas player for their Twenty20 campaign this year after having previously worked with the Men In Green bowler. However, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 scheduled to play Sri Lanka late next month, the 34-year-old’s availability has become an issue, forcing the club to look for reinforcements.
"Following the recent announcement that Pakistan's tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 Friends Life t20 campaign," read a club statement.
West Indies fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Malcolm-Denzil-Marshall-c73986, who died from cancer in 1999.
Roach has been impressive in the on-going Test, claiming a five-wicket haul in the first innings before grabbing three more in the second to restrict the Aussies on 73 for 3 at the end of Day 4.
The fourth day coincided with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marshall-c74817’s 54th birthday, and the player was more than happy to dedicate his wickets to his mentor.
"Today would have been Malcolm Marshall's 54th birthday, it's a special day, I looked up to him as a bowler," said Roach. "I can't really explain it, it's a good feeling to know that I got some wickets on his birthday and it makes me feel warm as a West Indian to know I can go out there and perform for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 like he did."
