New Zealand international wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi has signed for Birmingham Bears as their overseas player for this season's T20 Blast.
Ronchi, 34, is due to appear in all 14 group games, in contrast to fellow Kiwi Brendon McCullum, who played in half of the Bears' T20 matches in 2015.
"Having a player of his quality for all 14 group games is a huge boost," said director of cricket Dougie Brown.
"He is widely recognised as one of the game's finest wicketkeeper-batsmen."

Birmingham scraping the barrel on this one, I think. Ronchi looks like he might be cooked. He had a real rough go with the bat and the gloves at the World Cup and really struggled in ODIs over the last year also. I was surprised he even made it to the World Cup and thought BJ Watling would have been the better option.
