Warwickshire look to Harris

The Daily Telegraph has reported that Warwickshire are interested in signing Paul Harris, the South African slow left-arm spinner who plays for the Titans, who has been overlooked for the tour of Sri Lanka.

Warwickshire have just lost the services of Daniel Vettori, who has had to return to New Zealand with a stress fracture of the back, and their spin options are very thin without Ashley Giles (injury) and Alex Loudon (England).

The county have offered Harris a Kolpak deal and the spinner is considering whether to leave South Africa behind. "I am going to Warwickshire on Thursday for a trial," Harris told supercricket.co.za. "If anything comes of it then I will have a big decision to make. It would mean me giving up my right to play for South Africa and that would be a big decision to make.

"I haven't had the best of luck with the national selectors so far. I was passed over for the Sri Lanka tour which didn't exactly fill me with confidence."
