Malcolm Marshall debuted in FC cricket just before his tour of India in 1978. He therefore missed out by several months as far as I can tell (?)

Marshall's first senior appearance was a Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy (List A) match for Barbados on 13 February 1978; again he made a duck and did not take a wicket. Four days later, he made his first-class debut against Jamaica, and whilst he failed to score runs he claimed 6–77 in the Jamaican first innings. On the back of this single first-class appearance he was selected to tour India in 1978/79, many first-choice West Indian stars being unavailable having committed themselves to playing World Series Cricket. Marshall heard of his selection on the radio while working in the storeroom at Banks Brewery, and later claimed he did not know where India was.

Marshall made his first-class debut in February 1978, aged 19, against Jamaica. Despite being run out for 0, he took his chance with the ball taking 6/77 in the first innings.

Round 2:

Thanks guys. Since Marshall's cricinfo biography says his FC career started in 1977 I went for him. They could have meant the 1977-78 season

Am changing my pick to Sir Ian Botham
