University cricketer awarded Leicestershire internship
Loughborough University cricketer Johan Malcolm has signed a three month internship with Leicestershire as part of a new MCC programme.
Malcolm, who has just completed his final year of Business Economics and Finance at Loughborough, is one of just three university cricketers in the country to benefit from the MCC scheme which funds players contracts while the county assumes responsibility for their management as they undergo an extended trial.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Denmark, is looking forward to his stint at Leicestershire as he tries to forge a professional career within cricket.
Having access to the superb facilities and coaching on offer at Loughborough and being part of the MCC universities scheme has undoubtedly helped my game, he said. Ive enjoyed three years as a UCCE cricketer and am now looking forward to this extended opportunity with Leicestershire.
It is up to me to demonstrate to the coaches at Leicester that my ability and attitude is right to take the next step for a career in cricket. Leicestershire coach Tim Boon is looking forward to welcoming Malcolm to the club.
Johan Malcolm was our first choice as he fits into the current profile that we are looking for, he said. Graham Dilley, the Loughborough UCCE head coach, gave him an excellent reference and we look forward to giving Johan an extended opportunity during the summer.
MCC head of cricket John Stephenson is delighted to be able to offer students an extended opportunity to impress at county level.
The internship scheme is one that suits both parties, he said. Not only can MCC help to develop university cricketers and the MCC University scheme but the county gets to work with the cream of the crop for an extended period.
Players will be given a good opportunity to impress without feeling the pressure of having to produce in a one-off situation, which is what has previously happened.
