London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Oct, 2020 ) :Somerset have signed South African fast bowler Marchant De Lange on a two-year contract, the English county announced Tuesday.

"I am very excited at the prospect of being part of a formidable team and striving towards winning multiple competitions and silverware."Somerset director of cricket Andy Hurry added: "Marchant's skill, experience and ability to bowl at express pace will complement our bowling group perfectly.
