Worcestershire CCC has announced that New Zealand batsman, Lou Vincent, will replace Phil Jaques for a 5 week period in July. Jaques will return to Australia for their ‘Top End Series’ on 24th June and will be back for the LVCC game against Glamorgan in Colwyn Bay on 2nd August.
Vincent has played 22 Test Matches (including a knock of 224 against Sri Lanka) and 83 ODI’s for New Zealand. He is an opening batsman with three Test Match centuries and two ODI centuries to his name and is an outstanding fielder.
Worcestershire’s Director of Cricket, Steve Rhodes, says, “I am delighted that Lou has agreed to play with us. He is the ideal person to substitute for Phil particularly for the Twenty20 Cup competition. He will bring a dynamic style of play and is the type of character we want in the dressing room.”
Lou Vincent says, “It didn’t take me long to decide to accept Worcestershire’s offer and I am really looking forward to joining the squad later in June. I hope I can make a substantial contribution during my five weeks with the team, particularly in the Twenty20 Cup which I know has been a huge success in England.”
Vincent will arrive on 21st June and play his first game for the County in the C & G Trophy match against Yorkshire at New Road on 25th June.
We\'ve signed the mighty Lou Vincent!
