COLLY STILL RARING TO GO

PAUL COLLINGWOOD insists he feels like a 20-year-old as he prepares to embark upon his 23rd season with Durham.

The former England all-rounder, 42 next month, made his debut for his home county in 1996.

He will have team-mates who were not born the first time he wore the badge, but he has no immediate plans to call it a day.

Collingwood said: “I don’t even know what season this is – the 23rd, is it? You have to pinch yourself I guess and probably look back when you’ve finished your career.

“At the moment, I still feel as though I’m 20 years old.”
