Tahir signs for Warwickshire

Warwickshire have signed Imran Tahir, the Pakistani legspinner, as their overseas player for 2010. The phrase journeyman doesn't do justice to Tahir's career which has seen him play for at least 10 teams before he signed for Hampshire and the Titans in South Africa last year.

Tahir, 30, has taken 382 first-class wickets at an average of 25.89 and 95 List A scalps at 22.85. He joined Hampshire for the 2008 county season and was one of the better overseas signings: he took 96 first-class wickets in two seasons with the county, including 44 in just seven matches to save them relegation in 2008.

He has previously played for Middlesex and Yorkshire.
