Leggat not available
After 10 years of representative cricket at various levels, Richard Leggat has decided to restrict himself to club play this season. Leggat yesterday withdrew from the Canterbury trials next Sunday — he was to have captained one of the four teams — and advised the selectors of his nonavailability. “I haven’t had a holiday free from cricket over the New Year period since I was 14 years old," Leggat said yesterday. “Now I am looking forward to relaxing at the beach.” In addition to the feeling that he was in need of a break from the pressure of first-class cricket, Leggat said that his work commitments had a bearing on his decision. But he stressed that he hoped to resume his representative career in the future, probably next season. “I am enjoying my club cricket with Old Collegians. But I didn’t have a good
season with Canterbury last year and think it would be better to wait until next summer to. try and get back into it,” he said. Leggat, who captained Canterbury for part of the 1982-83 Shell Series, is a former national schoolboys, Brabin and Young New Zealand XI representative.
