Graham Napier has revealed his heartache after yet another rejection from the England selectors.

The Essex all-rounder, from Colchester, was overlooked for England’s 30-man provisional squad for the Twenty20 World Cup which starts in the West Indies in April.

And Napier, who is currently the leading Twenty20 wicket-taker in the world, feels there is plenty to back up his case for a place in the squad.

He said: “I’m deeply disappointed not to be involved in the 30-man squad, having played well in Twenty20 cricket over the winter for Central Districts in New Zealand.

“I am currently the leading wicket-taker in Twenty20 cricket and have the ability to take the attack to the opposition with the bat if required."
