Worcestershire Sign Scottish International Dewald Nel
Scottish International Dewald Nel has signed a contract with Worcestershire CCC for the remainder of the season after a successful 10 day period with the Club when he played in the LV County Championship matches against Yorkshire and Lancashire.
He will remain available to play for Scotland in their scheduled ODI’s against Full Member Nations (1st July v Pakistan, 12th July v West Indies and 16th August v India) and the inaugural Twenty20 World Championships in September.
Director of Cricket, Steve Rhodes, says, “Dewald has impressed during the ten days with us. We have some injury problems in the seam bowling department so his signing can only help us whilst giving him an opportunity to establish a career in first class cricket. We will work closely with Scottish Cricket to make sure he is available for their major matches.”
Dewald Nel says, “I am delighted to get this opportunity to play first class cricket and look forward to helping the team have a successful season. The arrangement also allows me to continue with my international duties, particularly the Twenty20 competition in South Africa later this summer.”
