Malan: Yorkshire will see the best of me!

DAWID Malan is hoping his best is yet to come after posting a sensational maiden career double century against Derbyshire this week.

The left-hander, 32, is desperate to progress his career with Yorkshire and England, and has pointed to two legendary Australian left-handers as prime examples of how great things can be achieved by players in their mid-thirties.

Malan has been called into England’s 14-man squad for their forthcoming three-match Vitality T20 series against Pakistan at Emirates Old Trafford, starting on August 28, with the possibility of further call-ups for six limited overs games against Australia.

He is a regular fixture in England’s T20 plans, but played his only one-day international in May of last year and has not played a Test since August 2018.

He was ruled out of contention for the recent Royal London one-day international series against Ireland due to a calf injury and now returns to the international fold brimming with confidence.

In three Bob Willis Trophy games for Yorkshire, he has posted standout scores of 73 and 219 against Durham and Derbyshire, with the latter particularly impressive in challenging Emerald Headingley conditions over the weekend.

Asked whether he believes his best cricket is still to come, he said: “Definitely. I feel I’ve got a hell of a lot of time left to play and so many more runs to score.

“I feel fit, I don’t feel old and don’t feel past it.
