Mitchell Santner joins Worcestershire for t20 Blast
during day three of the Third Test match between Australia and New Zealand at Adelaide Oval on November 29, 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.
NEW Zealand international Mitchell Santner will play for Worcestershire in this summer’s t20 Blast.
Santner, 23, will join last season’s quarter-finalists in mid-may having made his international breakthrough on last summer’s tour of England.
The all-rounder went on to make his Test debut against Australia in November and will link up with fellow Kiwi Matt Henry at Worcestershire.
Santner said: “It has been a breakthrough time for me in terms of New Zealand but I am always keen to develop my game and am looking forward to my first taste of county cricket.
“Worcestershire had a good run in the t20 last season and I hope I can play my part in helping them to enjoy another successful tournament.
“The club has had several New Zealand players in its ranks in recent years and I hope to make a positive contribution with ball and bat.”
