Mohammad Sami signs for Kent

The Pakistani fast bowler, Mohammad Sami, has signed as Kent's second overseas player on a two-month contract. Sami, 22, will replace the Australian batsman Greg Blewett when Pakistan complete their three-match NatWest Challenge series against England later this month.

Blewett, who has been standing in for his compatriot Andrew Symonds during Australia's tour of the Caribbean, will continue to deputise for Sami in the short term.

Pakistan's international schedule has enabled Sami to join Kent on an eight-week deal - after which the club will review their overseas player policy for the rest of the season.
