Durham have announced Australian bowling all-rounder John Hastings as their overseas signing for this season.

The 28-year-old from Victoria, who has represented his country 15 times in all three formats, will join the county champions following his stint with Indian Premier League side the Chennai Super Kings.

Durham first-team coach Jon Lewis said: “We are excited about the arrival of John, he is skilful with the ball and can also contribute well with the bat.

“He will be a strong addition with the red and white ball and we look forward to welcoming him to Durham.”
