Australia quick Mitchell Johnson is interested in joining Glamorgan for this year’s Friends Life T20 tournament.
The left-armer has revealed the Welsh county have inquired about his availability for the tournament that runs from June to August.
While no official talks have begun, Johnson said Glamorgan had asked his Western Australia team-mate Marcus North, who is already due to join the county, whether he will be fit to play.
Johnson has missed the entire Australian summer after undergoing foot surgery in December, but expects to be back in action by April.
“I’m interested,” he told Fox Sports. “I’m just waiting for a call from them. I wouldn’t say T20 is my favourite form of the game but it’s definitely a good way for me to come back.”
Johnson’s availability for Glamorgan will also rest on whether he breaks back into Australia’s one-day international team for their tour of England in June and July.
The 30-year-old had been a major part of Australia’s 50-over set-up before the injury, but in his absence young quicks such as James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc and Patrick Cummins have emerged.
