“A real key area we wanted to strengthen was the new ball bowling, and it’s great that we have been able to attract a player like Ravi,” said Godleman.
“Ideally we would like to have a couple of experienced, highly-skilled new ball bowlers across all forms, and Ravi will add to the talent we already have.
“We should be in a better place for 2018.”
