Windies star won’t rejoin WP

FRIDAY, 1.00PM:

WEST INDIES fast bowler Curtley Ambrose will not be joining Western Province for the 1997/98 cricket season. Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) general manager Peter Heeger said on Thursday: “The WPCA reached an agreement with Curtley but he has told us that he cannot come because of the hectic West Indies international calendar.”

Western Province lost West Indies opening batsman Desmond Haynes at the end of last season.

Heeger said the playing affairs committee will meet next week to decide whether or not to sign on an overseas player for the new season.
