Collingwood back in business

The Durham allrounder Paul Collingwood is set to make his return to action after four months out with injury.

Collingwood, 27, has played for England in one-day internationals, but missed out on a possible Test place this summer after dislocating his right shoulder while fielding in a pre-season friendly against Lancashire on April 16. But he is now fit enough to play in Durham's second-team fixture against Warwickshire, which starts tomorrow.

Collingwood said today: "I don't think I've ever trained as hard in my life. It's good to get back playing again and I can't wait to get cracking."
