Kraigg’s county call

BARBADOS’ CAPTAIN AND West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite will return to the scene of his recent Test heroics after signing for a two-match stint with Yorkshire.

Brathwaite will be available for Yorkshire’s final home match of the season against Warwickshire at Headingley, where he scored 134 for 95 in West Indies’ five-wicket victory over England, then the last County Championship match of the campaign against Essex at Chelmsford.

He will replace Shaun Marsh, who is returning to Australia for the start of the domestic season.

Discussions with Yorkshire had begun before the second Test so his performance in that Test was a timely boost. (ESPN/EZS)
