- Published
Surrey have signed New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme as an overseas player for their next three County Championship games.
The 35-year-old has played 28 Tests and 86 white-ball matches for his country.
He takes the overseas player slot of West Indies paceman Kemar Roach, who flew home last week after injuring his hamstring against Hampshire.
De Grandhomme will be available for the games against Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire and Kent.
"I am looking forward to getting over to the UK, joining the Surrey lads and getting stuck in for a few County Championship games," he told the club's website, external.
Zimbabwe-born De Grandhomme played in New Zealand's 2019 World Cup final defeat by England, and has also represented Warwickshire and Hampshire, as well as Southern Brave in last year's inaugural edition of The Hundred.
