Chris Harris joins ICL

Christchurch: Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Harris has joined the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and two of his ex-teammates, Chris Carins and Nathan Astle, would soon follow him.

According to NZTV, Harris, the Kiwi one-day specialist, has turned down a new provincial contract from Canterbury — the side he led last season — to become the first New Zealander to jump on to the ICL bandwagon.

His former teammates Astle and Cairns have already quit first-class cricket but could be back in action soon at the ICL. — PTI
