Sept 13 (Reuters) - England bowling all-rounder David Willey said he is ready to do the "donkey" work if it will help him secure a place in the squad for the upcoming Cricket World Cup after missing out on the last edition. Willey had been in the running for England's 2019 World Cup squad but was ditched to make way for Barbados-born fast bowler Jofra Archer. I'd have given my left arm to be a part of the last World Cup. Willey has managed to stay injury-free for much of his career and said his robustness could be crucial for England over the six-week tournament. "Call me a donkey if you want, but to take a donkey out to what could be a tough trip, you just might need a donkey," he said.

May 4 (Reuters) - Liam Livingstone said he was finally shaking off the rust following his return from injury after the England all-rounder cracked an unbeaten 82 for Punjab Kings in their six-wicket loss to Mumbai in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday. The 29-year-old was sidelined for nearly five months after sustaining a knee injury on his test debut against Pakistan in Rawalpindi late last year and only returned to action in the IPL last month. I had lunch with Jofra today (Wednesday) and he said that he was coming at me," Livingstone said. "It's nice personally to finally get a few out of the middle after a bit of a rusty start to the tournament." Punjab are seventh with 10 points from as many games, level with three other sides who have all played one match less.
