Chris Tremlett confirms contract extension with Surrey – Cricket News Update
England’s lanky pace bowler, Chris Tremlett, on Saturday confirmed that he has signed a one year contract extension with Surrey County Cricket Club and will now stay at The Oval until the end of the 2013 season.
Chris Tremlett’s central contract, as well as his contract with Surrey CCC, was due to expire at the end of the ongoing season, and the speedster, who has recently recuperated from the surgery for a slipped disc, admitted that he feared for his future after
an injury layoff of almost half-a-year.
“I'm still talking to the club,” Tremlett told ESPNcricinfo, “but there is a one-year contract on the table at the moment. Coming to Surrey has changed my career and I'll definitely be staying,” the pacer confirmed.
Chris Tremlett had sustained a slip disc injury during England’s tour of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in a full-fledged series. He was sent back home immediately, where he underwent a surgery.
“Having fought my way back into the England side and done pretty well, that injury was a real kick in the teeth,” said Tremlett, who will turn 31 on September 2.
The Hampshire-born gangling medium-pace bowler returned to competitive cricket initially, playing a few games with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806,
at Woodbridge Road, Guildford.
Tremlett, said that ever since he has returned from the injury layoff, he has found the playing environment more ruthless than before, and the expectations of national as well as county selectors are far higher.
Having returned to action in the county cricket, Tremlett, is also hoping of a national call back; however, he did admit that playing for the national side would be a bonus.
With England gearing up to host South Africa in a three-Test series from Thursday, asked if he was hoping an imminent call-up from the national selectors, Tremlett said it was just unrealistic to think in those terms.
“I haven't played enough to get back into the side for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 again would be a bonus,” he added further.
