Murray Goodwin joins the Warriors

Former Zimbabwe batsman Murray Goodwin is to play in South Africa for the Eastern Cape Warriors. He played 19 Tests between 1998 and 2000 and was one of the first in the country to turn his back on international cricket.

"Murray is a great signing for the Warriors and it reinforces our strong desire and stated intent to put cricket in the area back on the map," Dave Emslie, the franchise's CEO, said. "Murray has extensive international experience and has identified very strongly with the role we have spelt out to him. His role will be first and foremost to score as many runs as possible and to be an example to our young players we are busy developing."

Goodwin has plied his trade across the world, with his most success coming at Sussex.
