Kolkata, March 15, 2010 (PTI) - Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowling armoury got a big boost on Monday with the arrival of their new New Zealand recruit Shane Bond.
Bond will add fire to the pace department of Knight Riders, which already boasts of South African Charl Langeveldt, Ishant Sharma, Ashok Dinda and Ajit Agarkar.
Bond’s availability for Kolkata’s next match — against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday — however, is still to be decided.
“He just arrived from a long flight this morning. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow morning,” said a source.
Knight Riders are still expecting the services of Brendon McCullum and Chris Gayle among their overseas recruits.
Fiery opener McCullum is currently busy with New Zealand’s two-Test series against Australia from March 19-31.
