GREENOCK Cricket Club have signed up the same overseas players who were part of the Glenpark squad last season.

Saurabh Bandekar from India returns as professional and Laurens Smit from South Africa returns as overseas amateur.

They made a good impression at Glenpark last summer and were important players in the side which did well to retain Premier League cricket at the club for the forthcoming season.

Bandekar, who represented India Under-19s, is a right-arm pace bowler who is also an accomplished batsman. He has played top-level state cricket in India for Goa and has also played in the high profile Indian Premier League for Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Smit is a top-order batsman for his side in Boland Province in South Africa and he is also a spin bowler.
