Malcolm is bowing out after calling for the number of overseas players in county cricket to be reduced.

"All we are doing is feathering the nests of Australia and South Africa and others by acting as a finishing school for their Test candidates," he told the Daily Mirror.

"There is supposed to be a limit of two overseas players per county but every time one of them is called up for international duty, the counties just go out and sign another one on a short-term contract.


"So instead of giving our best prospects experience in the County Championship, we are preparing these guys to come back and one day bite the hand that once fed them."

Thanks for the 9 for 57 Devon!
