Worcestershire Rapids have signed West Indies leg-spinner Hayden Walsh for their upcoming T20 Blast campaign. The 32-year-old is a replacement for Pakistan spinner Usama Mir, who was unable to obtain the right paperwork for a planned stint at New Road. Walsh has played 39 T20 internationals for West Indies and 23 ODIs and is a handy lower-order batter.
“I am thrilled to join Worcestershire and be part of such a prestigious club,” Walsh told the club website. “It’s an exciting opportunity, and I can’t wait to get started.”
The Rapids begin their T20 Blast campaign against Lancashire on Friday.
