Dear Mr Miller,

It is with some sadness and regret that I must inform you it is my intention to retire from international cricket in England.

I have discussed this decision with trusted cricket colleagues, my first wife (and secretary) Marjorie, and my faith healer Mr Aluko, and we are unanimous in our feeling that I shall no longer be considered as available to represent England in this country.

As an uxorious man I must also be alert to the needs and foibles of my current lady-friend, and she has still to come to terms with the obvious inconveniences of the 5 day game.

Having said that, and here I must admit to you that in my mind’s eye I can now see you and Mr Flower with unfurrowing brows, as I add in my caveat; I will remain available for selection for overseas tours.

Yours sincerely,


Rob Harrison
Mufti
