LUMB PROSPERS ON
GLOBAL T20 CIRCUIT
Nottinghamshire batsman Michael Lumb
will jet off for his third overseas trip since the
birth of his first child as Sydney Sixers look to
retain their Big Bash title.
Lumb re-signed for the Australian franchise
when it became clear that Umar Akmal would
only be available for the first three fixtures.
His impending departure follows stints in
Sri Lanka as part of England’s ICC World
Twenty20 squad and South Africa where he
claimed the Man of the Match award in the
final of the Champions League after helping
Sydney across the line.
“TheChampionsLeague is agreat tournament
because so many of the world’s best players
are involved and we were delighted to come
out on top,” said Lumb.
“It was difficult to leave my son so soon after
he was born but I kept in touch through Skype.
“I’ve got the Big Bash coming up but then
it’s all about the county season and bringing
trophies toTrent Bridge.”
Lumb was a standout performer in his debut
season, quickly eradicating any fears over the
ankle injury that hampered his final months
at Hampshire.
“The body feels good and I’ve had no
trouble with my ankle since I have been with
Nottinghamshire,” said Lumb.
“The move has worked out great for me and I
couldn’t be happier.”
