New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond was recruited by the county side earlier this week to replace Pollock for a three-week period in August. Fleming will then deputise while Pollock leads his country in the ICC Champions Trophy event in Sri Lanka from 12-30 September. Warwickshire's Chief Executive Dennis Amiss said: "We are delighted to have been able to attract Damien here to join Warwickshire for the final few weeks of the season.
"We are sure that a player of his calibre and experience will play a massive role in our push for success." Fleming, now 32, has played 20 Tests and 88 one-dayers but has been out of favour since last summer's Ashes tour to England. He was a member of the 1999 World Cup-winning side and of the team that lost the 1996 final to Sri Lanka. Recently dropped by state side Victoria after a distinguished 13-year career, Fleming will play for South Australia Redbacks in the coming Australian domestic season. In his two-week spell for the Bears, Fleming will play in two Championship fixtures, against Yorkshire and Sussex, and two Norwich Union League games. | |
