“Steve played in a practice match at Taunton and looked as though he was still playing regular county cricket. I was impressed by his keeping and his fitness,” said Somerset’s Director of cricket Brian Rose.
If picked, the 29-year-old Hampshire-born wicketkeeper batsman will replace Jos Buttler behind the stumps, allowing the latter to play as a specialist batsman.
