Former Seaton Skipper Andy Cottam left Devon at the end of the
last cricket season intending to spend the winter playing
cricket in Australia before returning to East Devon for this
year�s season but an unexpected business opportunity means that
he will now not return for four years, if at all! Cottam has
recently been granted a four-year business visa to run a cricket
centre in Bunbury, Western Australia, offering specialised
coaching as a Centre of Excellence together with indoor cricket
in the evenings, a concept of the game that is huge in
Australia.
Cottam says it is a wonderful opportunity,
�It�s glorious out here, and the opportunity to work
in a sport I love with a passion and with the sun on my back
much of the time, it�s fantastic! There�s a local
businessman putting $100,000 into the centre and it�s a very
exciting opportunity for me. With the four-year work visa it
suggests I won�t be back in Blighty for the considerable
future. But I will follow Seaton�s season via the internet
and I wish them all the very best for the coming campaign."
