Lancashire have signed Australia batter Marcus Harris as an overseas player for this summer’s County Championship and One-Day Cup competitions.
Harris will be available for all of Lancashire’s Division Two four-day games starting against Middlesex at Lord’s on 4 April.
The opener, who has played 14 Tests, joins the Red Rose after spending two summers with Leicestershire and two with Gloucestershire before that.
“I am really excited by the opportunity to join Lancashire for the English summer and will give my all to help this great club win promotion back to Division One of the County Championship,” he told the club’s website.
Harris averages 39.64 from 172 first-class games and has an average of 48 from his time in the County Championship with nine hundreds.
He last played for Australia against England in Sydney in January 2022.
“Marcus is an experienced operator with international pedigree and has a proven track record of scoring runs at the top of the order in domestic cricket in Australia and England,” said Lancashire’s director of cricket performance Mark Chilton.
