Durham Cricket can announce the loan signing of Matt Parkinson.
The Lancashire and England leg-break bowler joins Durham immediately and will play in tomorrow’s LV=Insurance County Championship fixture against Derbyshire.
Parkinson’s arrival to Durham comes following the back injury sustained by Matt Kuhnemann during last week’s game against Glamorgan.
With 46 first-class games to his name, Parkinson has claimed 150 first-class wickets which includes his best of 7/126 against Kent. While his career best match haul of 10-165 came against Sussex during the 2019 season.
The 26-year-old has picked up 13 international wickets to date and made his England Test debut last summer against New Zealand at Lord’s.
Parkinson has made just one first-class appearance for Lancashire this season, where he secured his sixth five wicket haul in first-class cricket.
The right-arm bowlers loan period with Durham covers this week’s match against Derbyshire.
Matt Kuhnemann will continue to be assessed by the Durham medical team and a further update will follow
