Gloucestershire signs NZ bowler Kristian Clarke to two-game deal

New Zealand fast bowler Kristian Clarke signs a two‑game contract with Gloucestershire, giving the county side pace ahead of the next County Championship fixtures. Clarke, who has impressed in New Zealand domestic cricket with his swing and accuracy, joins the English side as a short‑term reinforcement.

Gloucestershire hopes his experience will strengthen the bowling attack during a busy period of matches. The two‑match deal also offers Clarke a chance to adapt to English conditions and showcase his skills to a broader audience.

If successful, the partnership could be extended for the remainder of the season.
