KLUSENER NO TO GLAMORGAN

ALL-ROUNDER Lance Klusener, voted man of the tournament in the World Cup, has turned down an offer to replace injured fellow South African Jacques Kallis at English county side Glamorgan. “No way,” Klusener told a Durban newspaper. “They have Jacques — that’s it. “Right now, I’m longing to get back home. It’s been a long, long season,” he said speaking from England where he has stayed since the World Cup. Kallis will not be available for Glamorgan for up to six weeks, doctors confirmed on Wednesday. “There is some tearing of the stomach muscles and it looks like four to six weeks of rehab for Jacques,” said Goolam Rajah, manager of the South African squad. “It’s Glamorgan’s call whether they want to wait for Jacques to regain fitness or look for somebody else,” Rajah said.
