Leicestershire sign du Preez

Leicestershire have signed Dillon du Preez, the South African quick bowler, as their second Kolpak acquisition in a week.
du Preez was the highest wicket-taker in the Supersport Series with 55 wickets at 16 and Leicestershire coach Tim Boon says he will be a valuable addition to the attack.
"He swings it away from the right hand batter, almost in the shape of Darren Gough," he told BBC Radio Leicester. "He has a strong set of values, and he's really keen to learn and fit in."
Leicestershire recently brought in Jermaine Lawson, the West Indies fast bowler, as another part of their bowling unit for the 2008 season. They need to fill the hole left by Stuart Broad who moved to Nottinghamshire.
