RECORD-breaker Colin Munro will be available for Worcestershire Rapids’ opening home NatWest T20 Blast match with Leicestershire Foxes and the remainder of the 2015 campaign — including finals day if the County qualify for the first time.
Munro will join up with the Rapids in time for the Foxes clash on Friday (5.30pm).
The 28-year-old played in all of Worcestershire’s group matches during 2014 and was their second highest scorer behind skipper Daryl Mitchell.
He was able to play in the quarter-final against Surrey at the Kia Oval after obtaining his release from the New Zealand ‘A’ squad who were touring England and Scotland.
But the 28-year-old would then have travelled home and missed finals day had Worcestershire been part of it because of the impending birth of his first child.
Munro hit a world record 23 sixes for a first-class innings for Auckland against Central Districts in March.
Worcestershire chief executive David Leatherdale said: “Colin is bringing his wife and baby and he will be contracted, should we get through to the latter stages.”
