Biography
Leg-spinner, Chris Schofield renewed cricket career is the story of the year. After a short spell with England in 2000, Schofield found his averages worsening and soon he parted company with club Lancashire. Playing in the Minor County Championship, Schofield remained hopeful that he would play first class cricket again. Surrey saw Schofield’s potential and gave him a one-year contract in 2006. Chris repaid Surrey’s faith by ending last summer’s Twenty20 cup as joint-leading wicket-taker. Schofield’s revival continued when he was selected to represent England in the ICC World Twenty20 Cup in September 2007
