Coach David Ripley told the club website they had initially looked to bring in West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach before re-signing Bracewell.

"Once that fell down we were keen to get someone of high all-round quality," Ripley said.

"Being able to have Doug around for those three games is something we couldn't really resist when we got a whiff he was interested in filling that void for us."
