Glamorgan sign Australian seam bowler McAndrew

Glamorgan have signed Australian pace bowler Nathan McAndrew for this season.

The 32-year-old will be with the Welsh county for their entire Vitality Blast T20 campaign as well as the County Championship matches between the two blocks of Blast fixtures in June.

McAndrew is a seasoned T20 player, having represented Sydney Thunder for 10 years and played for Sussex in the past three English summers.

He also has red-ball experience, playing for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield, Australia's premier domestic first-class competition.

McAndrew, who also played for Warwickshire in 2022, has taken 256 wickets in 63 first-class appearances, at an average of 25.69.

"I'm really looking forward to this season with Glamorgan," said McAndrew.

"Hopefully I can add value on and off the field and contribute to success in 2026."

Glamorgan will compete in Division One of the County Championship this summer, having secured promotion to the top flight for the first time in 20 years last season.

They are eager to strengthen their pace bowling attack and hope to make further signings before their opening County Championship fixture at home to Yorkshire on 3 April.

"It's an exciting time for the club coming back into Division One and playing some strong cricket in the Vitality Blast," added McAndrew.

Glamorgan director of cricket Mark Wallace said: "Nathan has been one of the best performers in domestic cricket around the world over the last few years and we're delighted that he's able to join Glamorgan for a key period of the season.

"Having someone with his experience of county cricket is very important and we're looking forward to welcoming him to Wales."
