Enfield's new professional Dave Saker will miss the first three games of the Lancashire League cricket season.

And Lancashire all-rounder Mike Watkinson is favourite to fill the gap.

The Victorian, signed as a late replacement for World Cup choice Shane Lee, had already fixed his wedding in Australia for April 24, the weekend after the season starts.

``Obviously he cannot do anything about the clash and he'll miss the first three matches,'' said Enfield chairman Geoff Dixon.

``We have spoken to Mike Watkinson and he has agreed to act as substitute professional for those games, providing he is available and does not have county commitments.''
