Banks will bring international experience to Somerset's ranks
|
Somerset have signed former West Indies all-rounder Omari Banks.
The 25-year-old middle order batsman and off-spinner has played 10 Test matches for his country, the last in Sri Lanka in July 2005.
Somerset director of cricket Brian Rose said: "Omari is a great signing and will give us strength in depth in key positions in our squad."
Banks does not count as an overseas player as he was born in Anguilla, a British protectorate.
Rose added: "Omari will be a huge asset to us and will be very dangerous in one-day cricket and the Twenty20 Cup."
Banks spent two months with Leicestershire in 2001 but only played one senior game against Pakistan.
