Tudor's Test debut came in the 1998/99 Ashes series in which he played solidly with the bat and further impressed selectors while bowling, winning the praise of his opponents, in particular Australia's captain Mark Taylor.

But he only appeared in the third Test at Perth, which confirmed another Ashes defeat, his tour also ending in injury as he was forced to retire hurt when batting after being struck by a delivery from Brett Lee.

[6] Injuries in 2003 and 2004 followed, and despite his recovery being aided by visits to the German doctor Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, Tudor was released from his contract by Surrey at the end of the 2004 season.

Essex gave him the chance to continue playing first-class cricket the following season, but it was to be another year blighted by injury.

[8] He rejoined Surrey on 24 October 2008, and spent one final season there, before retiring from county cricket at the end of 2009.

He has been active in Surrey's African-Caribbean Engagement (ACE) Programme, aimed at encouraging black teenagers into cricket.
