Damian Forder

Gloucestershire hope that this left-arm seamer will take over from Mike Smith when he retires. 21 years old, Damian Forder is still awaiting his first-class debut. Standing at six foot four inches, he is reputed to have some pace. Although it won't be easy for him to break through this summer, he could conceivably find himself in the reckoning if Mike Smith's pre-season injury worries persist. (Copyright CricInfo April 2001)
