Enfield have started to look for a replacement professional for Shane Lee, after the Australian all-rounder was named in his country's preliminary World Cup squad of 19 players.

That squad will be trimmed to 15 on March 24 but Enfield president John Hargreaves said: "We can't really afford to wait that long, especially with work permits to obtain. It is more than likely that we will have to sign someone else and we have a few names in mind."

Lee's younger brother Brett, who almost joined Enfield last season, was one name considered but has continuing fitness problems. Former East Lancs pro Billy Stelling is another name on the Enfield hit list.
