Australia seamer Daniel Worrall has signed for English county side Gloucestershire from the start of the county season until July 2.

The 26-year-old, who has played three one-day internationals for his country, will be available to feature in the County Championship as well as the entire domestic one-day cup season.

Worrall said: "It has been a long held ambition of mine to play county cricket and I am grateful to Gloucestershire for providing me with a chance to do that.

"I have heard only positive things about the potential of the squad being developed at Bristol and look forward to contributing to a successful 2018."

"He will add depth and experience to our bowling attack for the start of the season. We're all looking forward to having him here in Bristol."
