Durham's Phil Mustard joins Gloucestershire on loan
Monday 25 July 2016 18:17, UK
Gloucestershire have signed Durham wicketkeeper Phil Mustard on loan for the rest of the season.
Mustard is due to leave Durham at the end of the season after 16 years and is joining Gloucestershire to cover the absence of Gareth Roderick.
Roderick is set to miss the next six weeks after breaking his finger in the NatWest T20 Blast clash with Essex last week.
Powerful left-handed batsman Mustard has been with Durham since 2000 and played in 10 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals for England in 2007 and 2008.
Gloucestershire hope he will be eligible to make his debut in the Royal London One-Day Cup clash with Surrey on Wednesday, but he will not be eligible to face Durham should the sides meet later in the season.
Head coach Richard Dawson said: "It's great that Phil has joined us for the rest of the season after Gareth's injury to his finger.
"He brings with him vast experience and match winning abilities which I'm sure he will show whilst at Gloucestershire."
