FORMER England Test bowler Devon Malcolm is set to play at Netherfield Cricket Club in next week's Minor Counties Championship match.

The Jamaican-born Malcolm, aged 41, makes his debut for Suffolk in the three-day match against Cumberland, which starts at Parkside Road on Monday.

The ex-England bowler, perhaps best known for his 9-57 rout of South African at the Oval in 1994 after taking exception to being clouted by a delivery while batting, only retired from the first-class cricket when leaving Leicestershire at the end of the last season.

He played 40 Test matches for England and had first-class capped careers with Derbyshire, Northants and Leicestershire.

Cumberland fast bowler Pallav Kumar, 22, made his first-class debut for injury-hit Durham against Glamorganshire at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday.

Kumar, a graduate who is studying at Newcastle University, plays his club cricket for Newcastle City.
