Impact
Performance director James Thomas believes each players could make a big impact because the Bears chase the title.
“We’re very happy to welcome each Will and Manav back to the Bears after each players made an actual impact once they were last with the club,” he said.
“We’ve played some good red-ball cricket already this season, and each players will now bring additional quality at a vital time of the campaign where we’re in the combination for the title.
“Will adds experience to our batting line-up, especially with Beau Webster’s time on the club over for the season, while Manav showed earlier this yr that he has the power to alter a game with the ball in addition to adding crucial runs.”
