Aaron Adams could find himself in contention for another Eastern Counties recall, two years after insisting that he had played his last match in the competition.

The veteran batsman came out of retirement last weekend to help guide Cleveland to their first win in the Logic Premier Division, scoring 61 as they beat Somerset by 85 runs.

Already there is talk that he could bring something to the team’s batting department when they meet St David’s in the first round of the Eastern Counties next month.

Two years ago Adams rejoined Cleveland in mid-season after playing with the Jamaican Association in the Commercial League.

After a knock of 60 against Southampton Rangers he was selected to play in the counties against then champions Bailey’s Bay though his desire to go out on a winning note never materialised.

Fast forward two years and Adams has returned to Cleveland in similar fashion, scoring 61 off 44 balls from eight fours and three sixes.

Some within the club may try to persuade him to give the Eastern Counties one last shot on July 19, when Cleveland play St David’s, defending champions, at Sea Breeze Oval.

“They are trying but I’m not trying to play,” insisted the 51-year-old yesterday. “Anything’s possible but I hope not. They were short last week, so I came out to help out.

“I help coach the under-14s and there is a young player there, Isaiah Greaves, who opens the batting who has never seen me play, so now when I coach him at least he will know that I have played.”

Back in 2012, Adams had a knock of 60 against Rangers with all but two of his runs coming from boundaries.

It was enough to convince the club to include him in the county team for their match against then champions Bailey’s Bay.

He vowed that would be his last appearance in the Eastern Counties, though he never achieved his objective of going out on a winning note.

Last weekend he brought his experience to the team again, along with coach Clay Smith, who scored 32, and Peter Philpott, who enjoyed a good spell with the ball with two for 36.

“I enjoyed it, but didn’t enjoy the sun, fielding out,” Adams said. “If they are in trouble and trying to stay up then sure I’ll help them.

“One thing about Peter and I, is that we have never had any disrespect from the younger guys. It’s a pleasure to play with them. You had Clay there too and his motivational skills are second to none; he can make an average player play above himself.”

Cleveland are hoping to make it two wins on the trot when they meet Bailey’s Bay at Wellington Oval tomorrow. Last year they finished fourth in the league but have had a slow start to this season, losing to St David’s, Willow Cuts and Southampton Rangers before beating Somerset.

In other matches, unbeaten leaders St David’s will host winless St George’s in an east end derby at Lord’s, while at the west end Willow Cuts will meet Southampton Rangers at Somerset Cricket Club.

In the First Division, the Bermuda Under-17s play Western Stars today at St John’s Field while the two matches tomorrow pit Warwick against Somerset Bridge at Southampton Oval and Western Stars at home to Flatts at St John’s Field.
