LONDON – Trusted West Indies seamer Kemar Roach has described his County Championship stint with Surrey as “amazing” and said he was excited about a return at some point in the future.
The 32-year-old snatched 22 wickets from four matches after joining the county last April, immediately following the Test series against Sri Lanka in the Caribbean.
On Sunday, he lowered the curtain on his time with Surrey with a nine-wicket match haul in a drawn contest with Middlesex at the Oval.
“It has been amazing. From Mr. (Alec) Stewart, the coaching staff, the players – everyone made it extremely comfortable for me here and I can’t say enough to thank them,” said Barbadian Roach, who has taken 214 wickets from 63 Tests.
