Kiwi paceman Bond to play for Warwick
AUCKLAND, July 2: New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond has signed to play for English county Warwickshire next month during the brief absence of South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock, New Zealand Cricket announced on Tuesday.
Bond, who is currently touring the West Indies with New Zealand, will play for Warwicks between Aug 5 and 25 while Pollock is in Morocco for a tri-nations one-day competition involving South Africa, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Before Bond goes to Edgbaston he will undergo a thorough assessment of his fitness and, under his contract with Warwicks, will have a managed workload which will restrict him to bowling a maximum of 20 overs per day.
The Kiwi paceman has only recently recovered from a stress fracture of his right foot.
Bond has taken five wickets in each of the first two Test matches against West Indies. On Monday, he picked up five for 104 on the fourth day of the second Test in St George’s, Grenada. —Reuters
