South African shock as Olivier signs for Yorkshire

JOHANNESBURG Tuesday: Cricket South Africa expressed disappointment on Tuesday at fast bowler Duanne Olivier’s decision to sign a three-year contract with English county Yorkshire which will rule him out of international cricket.

Olivier, 26, was one of the stars of the South African summer, taking 31 wickets in five Test matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

He was man of the series against Pakistan after taking 24 wickets at an average of 14.70.

Cricket South Africa chief executive Thabang Moroe said Olivier had rejected a two-year contract with CSA.

“We find it extremely disappointing that Duanne has taken this step after all the opportunities we have given him, particularly over the past season and going forward, to live his dream of being an international cricketer,” said Moroe.
