Former England and Perth Scorchers batsman Michael Carberry has marked his return to cricket with a hundred in his first appearance since being diagnosed with cancer last year.
The 36-year-old was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour last summer and immediately started treatment, with his last first-class appearance coming on July 8.
Carberry, who made six Test appearances for England, returned to training with Hampshire during the off-season, having undergone a successful operation.
He marked his return to the middle in some style, scoring exactly 100 from 121 balls as Hampshire faced Cardiff MCCU at the Rose Bowl.
He was given a standing ovation as he left the field, his knock ending when he found the hands of Matthew Norris off the bowling of David O'Sullivan.
