It is understood that the consortium who wanted to buy Durham CCC are brewery and beverage manufacturers SABMiller. In return for paying off all Durham's debts, they wanted image rights for Ben Stokes to appear in Foster's commercials and billboards for 7 years.

However, the ECB objected as this due to a conflict of interest with brewery rival and official partner Greene King.

Australia pace bowler Jackson Bird takes up Rugby League, signs for Catalans Dragons.

If it was only someone such a cleanskin as Jackson. Greg Bird is a bit of a thug. From memory, he was arrested for bashing his then girlfriend, as well as glassing someone else. I think that he was snetenced to jail for one of these crimes, but was aquitted on appeal. He has had a visa to the UK (to play) denied before. Catalan is welcome to him, but signing a 32 y.o. for 5 years is a very bold move.
