Ravi Rampaul: West Indies bowler joins Derbyshire for One-Day Cup

Ravi Rampaul has played more than 130 international matches across all formats

West Indies bowler Ravi Rampaul has rejoined Derbyshire for this summer's One-Day Cup.

Rampaul helped Derbyshire reach Finals Day in 2019 - and broke a club record by taking 23 wickets in the T20 Blast.

The 36-year-old, whose two-year stay ended in 2020 when Covid stopped him returning, is available for the final three T20 Blast group games and the One-Day Cup group stages.

Head of cricket Dave Houghton said Rampaul's "quality is hard to match".

"His white-ball record is brilliant," Houghton added. "He will be a huge asset for us and we can't wait to see what he can produce this time around. He's a really popular member of the dressing room."

Rampaul said: "I loved my first spell with Derbyshire and I'm looking forward to getting started again in familiar surroundings.

"I know most of the players still, and there's a few new faces who are really exciting young players.

"If I can help them along in training and in games, I will do that, and hopefully we can get on a roll and challenge for the knockouts."

Having previously served Derbyshire as a Kolpak player, he will now take one of the overseas player berths.
