Australian batter Kurtis Patterson joined Surrey for the first time as batting cover for three Rothesay County Championship matches at the start of May.
The left-handed batter has played two Test matches for Australia, with a top score of 114 against Sri Lanka in 2019. Last season, Patterson hit 743 runs in eight Sheffield Shield matches for New South Wales at an average of 57.15. His fine form continued for Australia A, where he scored 137 against the England Lions.
On signing with Surrey, Patterson said: “I’m looking forward to joining Surrey. I’ve always wanted to play county cricket, so I jumped at the chance to represent Surrey when the opportunity presented itself.”
