Hatzoglou Joins on Short-Term Deal

27 May 2023 | Cricket

Australian leg-spinner Peter Hatzoglou has joined Glamorgan on a short-term deal.

With Michael Neser unavailable for Glamorgan's first four Vitality Blast fixtures, his compatriot Hatzoglou has linked up with the Welsh county on a short-term basis as cover.

The 24-year-old has played in T20 competitions across the world, mainly in the Big Bash with Perth Scorchers who have won the competition back-to-back in 2022 and 2023.

He has featured for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League as well as a stint with the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred last year.

"I'm really excited to make an impact during my stay here," said Hatzoglou.

"With Neser being called up to the Australian squad, I wasn't too far away in Essex and I guess I got the tap on the shoulder for the call up which is great.

"It's been really good to have some success with the Perth Scorchers over the last couple of years. I had some experience in The Hundred last year playing for the Oval Invincibles and I'm sure it'll be a nice little transition into the Blast this year."

Director of Cricket Mark Wallace added, "Neser is not going to be available for the next three games. He's got some Australia commitments so we're not going to have him.

"We've moved on a short-term contract to bring in Hatzoglou to give us some more bowling depth.

"Peter's got a good record around the world, mostly in the Big Bash, but in a few other franchise competitions as well.

"We're really looking forward to adding him to the Glamorgan squad and hopefully kickstarting this T20 campaign."
