Hooper will be fit for new season
CANTERBURY, England, Friday - English county side Kent said
Thursday they are confident West Indies Test star Carl Hooper
will be fit for the start of the new season after being laid low
with a mystery illness.
Hooper has been forced to pull out of the World Cup starting
later this month because of the virus and will rest at his Midlands home.
"Carl will undergo various tests over the next few days,`` confirmed Kent secretary Stuart Anderson.
"He is feeling weary after a long spell of intense cricket and
needs a complete break away from the game. We want him fired up
and ready to resume his career with us at the start of the season.``
Hooper missed the whole of last season because he was on tour
with the West Indies and was replaced by Sri Lankan Aravinda De
Silva.
