bowler neil wagner

New Zealand fast-bowler Neil Wagner has been signed by county club Somerset as an overseas player for the final three County Championship matches of the ongoing season. Wagner, the left-arm pacer, will arrive at the Cooper Associates County Ground in time to be in contention for Somerset's trip to Hampshire on September 3. He was due to play for Yorkshire, but suffered a torn hamstring and a bulging disc in his back while playing a Test match against Sri Lanka in March.

"I'm looking forward to joining up with Somerset and hopefully I can help them finish the season strongly. I've played English County Cricket before and it's something that I really enjoy.
