Yorkshire sign all-rounder Sutherland

Will Sutherland captained the Melbourne Renegades in this year's Big Bash

Yorkshire have signed Australian all-rounder Will Sutherland for the group stage of the T20 Blast and two County Championship games.

The 25-year-old has previously signed deals to play in England for both Somerset and Essex but injuries prevented him from making an appearance for either side.

Sutherland, who played in two One Day Internationals for Australia last year, will be available for the County Championship games at Nottinghamshire and at home to Essex in June.

"Yorkshire are a club with big ambitions, and I want to do all I can to contribute to a successful year," he told the club website.

The Melbourne man is the older brother of Annabel Sutherland, who was part of the Australia side who retained the Women's Ashes this month.
