I wonder how much he'll play in our bowling attack for 2026? Obviously on a 12 month contract with the Bears. I think he can contribute well in the Championship and can play 50 overs and possibly some T20? He's obviously still a useful bowler and handy with the bat. Thoughts?

He was always a skilful bowler but never great pace. I don't suppose he will have got any quicker since leaving us, so it's difficult to see him being first choice if everyone is fit. Handy as a reserve, though.
One of his main contributions for us was to generate footmarks for Jeetan Patel to aim at. I wonder if Rob Yates could make as good use of them.

What is the latest on Keith's injury - a knee problem, I think? Such a great return against Essex, but I'm getting Chris Rushworth vibes here...
