Mark Cosgrove was meant to be preparing for a season of county cricket with Glamorgan, but that has been put on hold after his call-up to Australia's one-day squad in Bangladesh. It completes a dramatic turnaround for Cosgrove, who plays for South Australia, after he was dropped at the start of the Australian season for being overweight. But he slimed down, scored runs and is now competing for a World Cup berth. Chloe Saltau writes about him the The Age.
