Gloucestershire have brought back South African bowler Duan Jansen for the remainder of their T20 Blast campaign after Liam Scott suffered an injury.

Left-armer Jansen, 26, took 16 wickets early in the competition when he played in six of the team’s group matches.

He took a wicket every 8.25 balls in his 22 overs in the group stage and his best figures were 4-25 against Warwickshire Bears in Bristol in May.

Jansen is in the squad for Wednesday’s quarter-final against Northamptonshire and will also be available for Saturday’s finals day should Gloucestershire, the 2024 trophy winners, advance.

Jansen initially joined the club in May as cover for Scott, who suffered a back injury during the 50-run defeat to Glamorgan on Sunday.

The club has confirmed that he will now return to Australia after playing the final six T20 Blast matches, taking six wickets during his time in Bristol.
