WORCESTERSHIRE batting legend Graeme Hick will be returning to New Road tomorrow and Saturday.

Hick is being interviewed by Worcestershire CCC president, Lord King of Lothbury, in a function which forms part of the club’s 150th anniversary year celebrations.

Then on Saturday he will be in charge of the Australian side in the final Royal London One-Day Under 19 International with England at New Road (10.30am).

The series is interestingly poised at 1-1 with two matches remaining — today’s game at Grace Road, Leicester before heading to New Road.

Hick is guaranteed a warm welcome at a ground which he graced as a player for 25 years and was such a key component in a side which dominated in the late 1980s.

He scored 136 first-class 100s and amassed 41,112 runs at an average of 52.23, played in 65 Tests for England and 120 one-day internationals.

Hick also scored 22,059 List ‘A’ runs with another 40 hundreds at an average of 41.30 before deciding to retire at the end of the 2008 season.

In 2013 he was made performance coach at Cricket Australia’s centre of excellence.
