TOM’S LATE START

TOM Kohler-Cadmore is hoping to make his belated season debut in the Vitality Blast this week after being dogged by concussion symptoms for four months.

Two previous comeback attempts by the 27-year-old Yorkshire batsman — who was struck a blow to the head while on Pakistan Super League duty in January — have proved false starts, after he experienced headaches and bouts of nausea.

The most recent for a player who was named in England’s 55-man Covid squad two years ago came last week when he was lined up to play two Twenty20 doubleheaders for Yorkshire’s second XI versus Durham across three days in Harrogate but played just a single game, hitting 23 off 13 balls before reporting nauseous.

Under county cricket’s return to play protocols, he will be considered for selection against Worcestershire in the opening match of the Blast on Wednesday.
