Worcestershire head coach, Alan Richardson, said: "I’ve always encouraged lads to go and play abroad.

"I’ve banged this drum a lot but it is a great opportunity for guys to widen their cricketing experience and their life experience in general.

"It makes them more rounded people and not only that, it is a perfect balance for guys.

"They get an opportunity to train in the week and play at weekends."
