BRAD McNamara will miss Haslingden's final Lancashire League game of the season after being ordered to report back to New South Wales for pre-season training.

The Aussie professional will sign off on Sunday when Haslingden take on Burnley at Bentgate in their penultimate match of the season.

And he may not be back next season as the Lancashire League club are currently considering whether or not to offer him a new deal.

Ernie Taylor, head of cricket at Haslingden, said: "As far as next season goes, we haven't decided fully on what we are doing yet."
