Shankar Heads To Lancs

Watkinson - a big fan.

Lancashire have signed promising batsman Adrian Shankar on a two-year deal.

The 23-year-old Ascot-born player, a former Middlesex academy member and captain of the county's under-19 team, joins after a short spell with Lancashire prior to this summer's campaign.

Lancashire cricket manager Mike Watkinson said: "Adrian is a quality young batsman who fills a gap in our player development programme. He has attracted interest from a number of other counties, which confirms his potential."
