(Sportsmax)- Barbados and West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach has rejoined Surrey for the final four matches of the County Championship, bolstering their pace attack as they aim for a third consecutive title.
The 36-year-old, who featured in Surrey’s opening six matches of the season and took 18 wickets, has been a key figure in the club’s recent successes. Roach played a significant role in Surrey’s last two title-winning campaigns, and his return comes as a timely boost for the team, who are currently leading Division One by 35 points over second-placed Somerset.
“It’s great to be back at my second home with Surrey, and I’ve kept a close eye on the boys from afar,” Roach said in an interview with Surrey’s official website. “We know what the goal is, and I’m going to give everything to achieve it.”
Roach’s experience and skill will be vital as Surrey looks to secure their third consecutive championship. With a remarkable career record of 408 wickets across 82 Tests, 95 ODIs, and 11 T20Is for the West Indies, Roach’s presence in the squad adds depth and a wealth of experience.
He will be available for selection for Surrey’s upcoming match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge on Thursday, where his contributions will be crucial in maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
Surrey’s push for the title has been strengthened by Roach’s return, and his impact on the field could be the decisive factor in their quest for another championship triumph.
