With pre-season now underway many of the Durham squad are spending their winter in sunnier climates playing overseas.
A regular feature on the Durham website throughout the winter will be recapping how the Durham players get on.
Brydon Carse claimed a pair of wickets in England’s victory New Zealand at the Hagley Oval as the Three Lions took a 1-0 lead in their T20 series against the Kiwis with a 65-run victory. After England posted 236/4, Carse struck twice in his opening four balls removing Tim Robinson and Rachin Ravindra on his way to figures of 2/27 in three overs as the hosts were dismissed for 171.
Daniel Hogg scored 31 for Perth-based side Western Suburbs in their dominant victory over Curtin Victoria Park. Batting at four, Hogg continued what was a strong start for the visitors with 31 from 33 balls striking one four and two sixes helping his side reach 241/4 from 40 overs.
