Despite being in and out of the side for the next couple of years, Dilley’s future as a Test player seemed reasonably bright by 1983, and he played a full part in England’s World Cup campaign. Following the tournament, a neck injury forced him out of the game for a year, and although he returned to county cricket in 1985, there was some doubt as to his long-term prospects. A decent performance that winter for Natal helped in his rehabilitation and, by 1986, Dilley took 63 first-class wickets and earned a recall to the England side.
