Lancashire Cricket have completed the overseas signing of right-arm seamer Will Williams, on a short-term red ball deal.
New Zealander, Williams, will be available for the LV= Insurance County Championship and goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s match against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
The 29-year-old plays First-Class cricket for Canterbury in the Plunkett Shield, back in his homeland, and boasts a fine record of 116 wickets taken at an average of 22.90.
During the recent 2021/22 Plunkett Shield season, Williams was the fourth highest wicket taker in the competition, picking up 25 dismissals at just 21.52.
The short-term addition of Williams will boost the Club’s seam bowling options at a time when James Anderson and Luke Wood are both away on international duty and Saqib Mahmood and Jack Blatherwick have been ruled out through injury.
