Allan Donald returns to Warwicks

South African fast bowler Allan Donald will return to Warwickshire, on a one-year contract, next season. This will be the ninth season for the pace ace at Edgbaston.

"Next summer is a long way off, but already I am looking forward to coming back as a player," the 29-year-old paceman, who has already taken 456 wickets for the county besides his 114 victims in 25 Tests for South Africa, said.

Donald missed two seasons for Warwicks - the first in 1994 when he was touring England with his national squad, and this year, when team-mate Shaun Pollock was picked as the county`s overseas player.

Donald has, however, continued to work at Edgbaston as the county`s bowling and physical fitness coach. And come next season, he will return to harness, replacing Pollock as Warwicks` overseas pro.
