Worcestershire have re-signed Australia pace bowler Ben Dwarshuis for the entire T20 Blast in 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n
The left-armer took 15 wickets during his previous T20 stint at New Road in 2021, although the Rapids finished fifth in their group and missed out on the knockout stages.<\/p>\n
“He was probably at the start of his journey then, when he was less experienced. It was such a learning experience for Ben at that time,” said Pears head coach Alan Richardson.<\/p>\n
Dwarshuis has picked up 169 wickets in 135 games in cricket’s shortest format and has appeared in four Big Bash finals for Sydney Sixers, winning two of them.<\/p>\n
He played eight games for Durham in 2024 and also appeared for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred.<\/p>\n
“Ben is someone who fits the skill-sets we need, someone who can bowl at the top and bottom of the innings and someone who has become quite destructive with the bat as well,” Richardson added.<\/p>\n
“He showed that in a couple of games he played in The Hundred last year.”<\/p>\n
Dwarshuis hit an unbeaten 40 off 20 balls for Superchargers against Trent Rockets, and earlier this week scored 20 not out off eight to help the Sixers to a five-wicket win over Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash.<\/p>\n
“Worcestershire have had some considerable success over the years in T20 cricket and hopefully I can play my part in making next summer one to remember,” he said.<\/p>\n
Dwarshuis will be joined in the Worcestershire team by New Zealander Jacob Duffy<\/a> for part of the Blast campaign. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
