Glamorgan has renewed the contract of Michael Neser for two more years until 2023. The Australian fast bowler who has had a brilliant start to his county season has been rewarded for his recent heroics. He has bagged 19 wickets in just 4 matches at an exceptional average of 14.89.
The speedster will now join his countryman Marnus Labuschage who has already struck a deal to play for them until next year. Meanwhile, Neser who has been part of the county earlier said it is a delight to play in Wales and he didn’t have a second thought in his mind to commit to Glamorgan.
"I've absolutely loved playing in Wales this season and it was a no brainer to commit my future to the club," Neser said.
"When I was first approached by Glamorgan, Marnus said what a fantastic place this was and how welcoming the people were and that's exactly how I've found it. Cardiff is a beautiful city, and I couldn't think of anywhere better to play over the next two years," he added.
Neser hopes to add variety and experience to the squad and help out the young blood to ensure that they stand a chance of winning the championship. Glamorgan are currently fourth in Group 3 with only two wins under their belt in 9 matches while losing 2 and drawing 5.
"As a team, we've played some really good cricket this season and there's plenty of young talent which bodes well for the future. Hopefully, I can bring my experience to the table to help them out and continue to contribute to more wins so we can push for silverware,” Neser said.
Meanwhile, Director of Glamorgan cricket, Mark Wallace was excited with the extension of Neser and is hoping that he along with Marnus Labuschagne, he can take Glamorgan to new heights.
"He is a world-class cricketer and a real role model to our younger players who will only get better with him around the dressing room," Wallace said. "Through him and Marnus re-signing over the last year, it shows that we are not only a very welcoming club but also a very ambitious one who can attract top players,” he said.
