Sommers Home Counties Premier League

Former England spinner Shaun Udal will play for Henley next season after agreeing a deal with the Division 1 club.

Udal, 38, retired from First Class cricket with Hampshire in September and played for England as recently as March 2006.

On that occasion he took 4-14 in the second innings as England beat India by 212 runs.

Henley captain Bjorn Mordt said: "We have got good contact with Hampshire and are also looking to sign him for Berkshire.

"I spoke to him a couple of times, we offered him a deal and he accepted it.

"To get someone of his stature is magnificent for us. He is looking forward to it.

"He starts training with us in February and the pre-season games start after that."
