Derbyshire May Lodge Complaint About Malcolm (11 Jan 1996)

Derbyshire are to consider making an official complaint to the Test and County Cricket Board over public criticism of fast bowler Devon Malcolm from England manager Ray Illingworth, coach Peter Lever and captain Michael Atherton during the Test series in South Africa.

Derbyshire secretary Reg Taylor said: "It has certainly been an unhappy tour for Devon and we are considering whether to take the issue further.

"We will be talking to Devon in the near future and in the interests of balance we will also attempt to speak to Ray Illingworth. There is a limit to what we can do but if what we hear convinces us that Malcolm was in any way unfairly treated then it is likely that some form of official protest will be lodged."
