Barbados leg-spinner Dave Marshall has returned home prematurely after being denied a work permit to play professional cricket in England.

Marshall, 25, left here late last month and was expected to represent Vauxhall in the Norwich League, but spent just one day in England after immigration officials said he had to go.

"I am very hurt and disappointed about the whole affair as I was really looking forward to playing league cricket in England," he said yesterday, noting he was still hoping to return to England to fulfil his contract.

"It was just a misunderstanding, but I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that something can be worked out quickly in my favour," Marshall added.
