Bit of a left field signing that one

Left arm spinner, a fringe international

I can honestly say I have never heard of him. 

Hopefully be a mystery spinner who takes 5-for’s  for fun

If and when everyone is available, the competition for places will be more fierce than at any time in the last decade. Not sure where it puts the likes of Logan, Qadri and O'Riordan because I'm not sure that we will be playing two front line spinners (especially with Leaning and Denly in the side) too often

He's still very young, but Qadri has been a slight disappointment really. Maybe he should have stayed at Derby

I’m not a cricket expert but I know GL is very good.

Think he is an allrounder that will whack a few sixes in an over late on
