Lancashire have signed Hampshire and England fast bowler John Turner on a 14-day loan deal.
The 24-year-old will go straight into the squad for the County Championship match at Northamptonshire on Friday.
He made his England One-Day international debut in the tour of West Indies in November.
Turner will provide cover with veteran James Anderson out with a calf injury and Saqib Mahmood still returning to fitness from a back injury.
“John is an exciting young bowler who is well regarded both domestically and by England at international level,” director of cricket performance Mark Chilton told the club website., external
“With Jimmy recovering from injury and Saqib sticking to an agreed plan ahead of his return to red ball cricket, John’s loan signing and immediate availability provides us with another bowling option for the next couple of matches in the County Championship.”
