Yorkshire have completed the signing of leg-spinner Josh Poysden from Warwickshire on a three-year deal.
The 27-year-old will spend the rest of the season on loan with the White Rose, before joining on a permanent contract thereafter. However, Poysden will continue to play T20 Blast matches for the Birmingham Bears this campaign.
Posyden has been signed as a potential replacement for Adil Rashid, who is still under a white-ball only contract after signing one in February. Talks are still ongoing with Yorkshire for Rashid to return to red-ball cricket after being recalled to the England Test squad for the current series against India.
“I really enjoyed the one-game loan, continued Poysden. “When I came in, the lads were nice and all really welcoming. It was brilliant playing with the international players like Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson. It was a great experience but most importantly, getting a win in the Roses game was a great way to start my Yorkshire career.”
Poysden will be eligible to play in Yorkshire’s County Championship match against Worcestershire at Scarborough on Sunday.
