Surrey sound out retired fast man McGrath brushes off county talk May 17, 2008
Glenn McGrath's successful return to cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reportedly prompted a bold bid from Surrey to lure him onto the county scene. However, McGrath says he has no intention of extending his comeback beyond the IPL and he is keen to return home when the tournament finishes in a fortnight. McGrath, 38, retired from international and state cricket at the end of last year's World Cup but the Indian Twenty20 competition tempted him to return and in his first ten matches for the Delhi Daredevils he has grabbed nine wickets at 27.44. The Sun-Herald reported that Surrey had offered him a three-week stint but McGrath said he was not interested. "They must be desperate," McGrath told the paper. "Playing in the IPL has been a great experience, but it has only confirmed the reasons why I retired. There's no way I want to play county. "I've been really happy with the way I've bowled, I think it has surprised a few people. However, I'm really looking forward to getting home to [wife] Jane and the kids. I'm missing them." © Cricinfo
