An amputee cricketer is fundraising for a prosthetic blade that will allow him to run between the wickets.<br />
<br />
Rob Franks, 42, paid £15,000 to have his leg amputated above the knee three years ago after suffering a leg injury while playing a match. <br />
<br />
Complications from surgery left him in agony for several years afterwards prompting the decision to lose his left leg.<br />
<br />
Although he has been able to resume playing cricket thanks to an electric prosthetic knee and leg, he requires another batsmen at the crease to do his running.
