Martin keen to take his chance against MCC
AFTER starting off the season in fine form, Jason Martin has been handed the wicketkeeper's gloves for Guernsey's double-header with the MCC.
The touring side come to the island for their annual visit next week and will face Nic Pothas' side in Twenty20 and 50-over matches, which sandwich the traditional fixture with Elizabeth College.
Pothas has again made changes to his Guernsey teams from the squad who travelled away to Sussex last weekend to face Denmark.
The most notable inclusion is that of 19-year-old Martin, who will be behind the stumps in both games, with fellow keeper Zak Damarell in as a specialist batsman.
