Glamorgan eye Kasprowicz stand-in

Glamorgan are considering a move for a second overseas player as they have lost Mike Kasprowicz for the summer.

The Australian has been named in both his country's one-day and Test squad for the Ashes tour.

With Matthew Maynard, Alex Wharf and Simon Jones expected on England duty, Glamorgan's resources are stretched.

"We're not in the market for a second overseas player yet, but we are looking around the world and have that option," said Glamorgan captain Robert Croft.

"Mike had a fantastic winter with Australia and we've been expecting to lose him for a while.

"We're very proud of him, he's a fantastic cricketer, but for Glamorgan as a team it's a disappointment.

"We have strength in depth with our seam bowlers. We could lose a few to England, but that won't be until over a month into the season."

Glamorgan's other overseas player is Australian opening batsman Matthew Elliott, and a second recruit would be expected to be a bowler.

Another Australian, fast-medium bowler Michael Lewis, joined the Welsh county for a short period last summer when Kasprowicz was on international duty.

  • Glamorgan batsman Matthew Maynard has denied newspaper reports that he has applied for the post as the next director of the English Cricket Academy.
