LEN SHACKLETON INSISTS HE NEVER WANTS ΤΟ PLAY FOR ENGLAND AGAIN

By ROY PESKETT

Len Shackleton, erstwhile England inside forward--he never wants to play for England again-has written the tnost bitter attack on Soccer I have ever read. It will be published as his biography" this week-and one way or another this great young athlete and business man does not come out of it very well.

What's All This About My Retiring From Test Cricket?

Asks DENIS COMPTON

What's all this about my retiring from Test cricket? Let me say, here and now, that I intend to go on playing County cricket and Test cricket as well, if wanted as long as I can.

That one day's break from fielding in the last Test against South Africa does not mean that my playing days are over.
