UPLYME and Lyme Regis Cricket Club have announced their overseas players for next season.

He is 18-years-old Preston Hillness who plays Premier first grade cricket for Eastlake CC in New South Wales.

Hillness is an all-rounder opening bat and right-arm medium paced bowler.

Announcing the new signing on the club's Facebook page, Uplyme chairman Steve Batey said: "We are very excited that our new overseas player has put pen to paper for the 2023 campaign.

"We wish him well and are thrilled that he'll be gracing the King George V playing field this season."

Last year's overseas player at Uplyme, Abhishek Anand, was a tremendous success, finishing as the Devon Cricket League's C Division top run scorer.
