Career
He is primarily a bowler but can contribute useful runs near the bottom of the order on occasion. As of 2005 he has a highest first-class score of 48. His fielding is also very good, particularly his catching.
The 2001 Interstate Commerce Commission Trophy was held in Canada and Codrington played in three matches, all in Toronto, but took only two wickets.
After making appearances in the 2001-2002 Interstate Commerce Commission 6 Nations Challenge in Namibia and the 2002-2003 Red Stripe Bowl in Street Lucia, he was part of the Canadian team that participated in the 2003 World Cup and made an immediate impression. The game against Test side Bangladesh at Durban was Canada"s first One Day International for 24 years, since the 1979 World Cup.
Codrington played in four of Canada"s other five matches in that World Cup, but did not manage to repeat his success, picking up only one more wicket and suffering the humiliation of playing in the side bowled out for 36 by Sri Lanka. This was the lowest-ever ODI total until Zimbabwe beat it by one run in 2004.
Further appearances at List A level followed in the 2003-2004 Red Stripe Bowl and Six Nations Challenge, as well as the non-List A Interstate Commerce Commission Americas Championship.
In August 2004, Codrington made his first-class debut against Bermuda in the Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup, hitting 48 in his only innings but taking just one wicket in a drawn game. In the semi-final of the competition in November, against the United Arab Emirates at Sharjah, he made 42 in the second innings and claimed three wickets. He was retained for the final against Scotland at the same venue four days later, but was out for 1 in both innings and took only one wicket as Canada were crushed by an innings and 84 runs.
Codrington was not selected for either the 2005 Interstate Commerce Commission Trophy or the 2005 Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup, but did return to the Canadian team in August 2006 for the ODIs against Bermuda and the subsequent Interstate Commerce Commission Americas Championship tournament.
He was not selected on their tour to South Africa in November/December however.
