ENGLAND STARS RISK FUTURE IF THEY PULL OUT, WARNS CADDICK

ANDREW CADDICK has warned England’s cricketers that their standing in the team will be affected if they decide to pull out of the tour of Bangladesh. The former Somerset fast bowler withdrew from England’s Test series in India in 2001 in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the US, and was joined by Robert Croft. Caddick continued to play for England until the end of 2003 World Cup, though Croft was never chosen again. Caddick told

Sportsmail: ‘The players should be told that if they don’t want to go that’s fine — it won’t affect your standing in the side. But it will. There are certain individuals struggling to be in that side, and they’ll feel pressure to go. ‘It has got to be an individual’s choice whether to go or not.’
