DERBYSHIRE yesterday signed the South African Test player, Daryll Cullinan, as their overseas player for next season. The 27-year-old, who has signed a one-year contract, replaces fast bowler Ian Bishop, who is expected to be touring England with the West Indies next summer.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE are to have further talks with their former England opener, Chris Broad, who has not played since mid-July because of a deteriorating hip condition.
