Mark Waugh to replace Flower in September
Essex CCC Media Release - 8 August 2002

Following recent press speculation, Essex is now in a position to confirm that it has secured the services of Australian test star Mark Waugh to take over from Andy Flower in September when he leaves for the ICC Trophy competition in Sri Lanka. Essex Chief Executive David East commented:

"We are delighted that Mark will be returning to us. Andy Flower has done a fantastic job this summer and will be greatly missed in September, but with Mark supporting our push for promotion in the last four games of the season we have high hopes of success."

Waugh joins Essex on 9th September to prepare for the Championship match starting against Durham at Riverside on 11th September, having completed a short tour in the UK promoting his new book. He has previously played for the Club in 1988, 1989, 1992 and 1995, and currently averages just under 60 in first class cricket for Essex.

Mark Waugh commented:

"I am really looking forward to my return to Essex. I have always enjoyed playing for the Club and I hope that I can help them achieve promotion in both league competitions this season."
