He has decided to stay at home to prepare for the 2003 World Cup, which will be held in his home country.Kallis, 26, who spent a season at Middlesex in 1997, says he has no intention of emulating his team-mate Shaun Pollock, who is to play for Warwickshire.”I know Shaun set a precedent by signing for Warwickshire but, to be honest,I’m not up for it. Good luck to Shaun but I reckon he’ll be very, very tired atthe end of it,” Kallis said.
