Glamorgan have signed Australian all-rounder Moises Henriques as cover for overseas signing Marcus North at the start of the season.

North is not due to join up with the Welsh county for the opening weeks of the new campaign as he is attending the birth of his second child.

The 25-year-old Henriques, who has made three limited overs appearances for Australia, has been drafted in to take North’s place during a hectic start to the campaign.
