Tom Helm who joined Glamorgan at the start of May, has had his month loan period from Middlesex CCC extended. Helm's initial month loan to the Welsh county was due to end during the LV= County Championship clash against Essex next week making him unavailable for selection for the match.
The new agreement will allow the twenty year old fast bowler to be available to play for Glamorgan until the conclusion of the Championship match against Kent (15-18th June) at the SWALEC Stadium.
So far during his time with Glamorgan, Helm has played in three LV=CC matches and taken six wickets.
Glamorgan Chief Executive and Director of Cricket Hugh Morris said, Glamorgan CCC is delighted to confirm an extension to the loan agreement for Tom Helm until 19th June. This allows Tom to be available for selection for our next 2 LVCC matches, and we are most grateful to Middlesex CCC for agreeing to our request.
Tom has been a valuable addition to our playing squad over the past month and has continued to develop and grow in confidence over the 3 games he has played for the Club. He has fitted into our dressing room extremely well and I am sure he will continue to benefit from his time at Glamorgan.
Middlesex's Managing Director of Cricket, Angus Fraser, said: As before, I believe this is a win-win situation for all concerned. Middlesex have a talented and extremely promising young fast bowler who is capable of playing First Class cricket but is currently unable to get those opportunities with us. Going on loan to Glamorgan allows this to happen and for Tom to continue his development.
