Proteas seamer Lizaad Williams has joined Northamptonshire for the remainder of the 2022 County Championship.
Proteas batsman Ryan Rickelton played for Northamptonshire earlier this year, prior to joining the Test squad for the ongoing series against England.
What Williams said
“The team is in a strong position in the County Championship and I hope I can contribute towards some positive results in the upcoming games,” said Williams.
“I’ve been following the team since two former team-mates of mine in Rory Kleinveldt and Richard Levi plied their trade for Northamptonshire.
“I’ve played with Ricardo Vasconcelos and Brandon Glover down in Cape Town, too, so I’m looking forward to seeing them again.”
What Northamptonshire said
Williams has played two Tests, one ODI and six T20Is since debuting in international cricket in 2021.
“It’s great to have Lizaad with us until the end of the season. We know it’s going to be four very competitive games coming up and to have Lizaad here with his test match experience and class is great for us,” added Northamptonshire bowling coach Chris Liddle.
“We’re really looking forward to watching him go about his work and how he’ll complement the bowling attack we have here.”
