Mark Ilott to leave Essex Media Release - 5 September 2002
Essex County Cricket Club has announced that it will not be renewing the contract of Mark Ilott. Ilott, 32, made his first class debut for Essex in 1988 and played in 5 Test matches for England. He has been experiencing difficulties with his fitness and, although fully recovered, has agreed with the club that it is mutually beneficial for him to leave at the end of the season. Chief Executive David East commented: "Mark has been an excellent servant for the Club, and is currently in his benefit year. It is always sad when players leave us, but we all wish him every success for the future." Mark Ilott commented: "I am obviously very disappointed to be leaving the club after so many years, but would like to thank the Club and its members for all their support during my career, and in particular during my benefit year. I very much hope to carry on playing should a suitable opportunity arise." © Essex CCC
