Himley Cricket Club have signed Rajat Bhatia, the IPL Champions Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder, for the remainder of the season.
Bhatia was ever-present during the Knight Riders' 2012 success including the final victory over previous champions Chennai Super Kings in front of a crowd of over 60,000.
Bhatia, 32, plays first-class cricket for Delhi - and previously represented the Delhi Daredevils before switching to Kolkata - and boasts an impressive record of more than 4,200 first-class runs at an average of 48 as well as 88 wickets at 28 runs apiece.
Himley spokesman Greg Wright said "Signing Rajat brings us a wealth of talent and experience, which we felt we needed given the regular unavailability of some key players and tough batting conditions this season. Rajat is an ECB Level 2 coach and will also be helping develop our fine crop of juniors on Friday evenings.
