McMillan named MCC captain

Craig McMillan, the New Zealand batsman, will captain MCC in their three-day match against Sri Lanka A at Arundel starting on July 10.

McMillan has played 55 Tests and 191 one-day internationals and following a recall to New Zealand's one-day side in January, he played at the World Cup. In his ODI career McMillan has scored over 4,500 runs and taken 46 wickets. He also holds the record for the fastest one-day century scored by a New Zealander - 117 off 67 balls against Australia earlier this year.

Keith Bradshaw, MCC's chief executive, said: "I'm delighted that Craig has accepted our invitation to captain MCC. His talent and international experience will surely be a great asset to the team."

McMillan is currently in England playing for Nelson Cricket Club in the Lancashire Leagues. The rest of MCC's line-up will be confirmed in the next few days and the match marks the start of Sri Lanka's tour which lasts for a month.
