The Guyana Amazon Warriors have added Australian international Nic Maddinson to their squad for the remainder of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign.
Maddinson will replace Martin Guptill who has been called up to the New Zealand squad for the forthcoming tour of Zimbabwe.
Guptill was down to play his final game of the Hero CPL last night against the Jamaica Tallawahs at Sabina Park.
Maddinson, 24, made his international debut against India in 2013, scoring 34 runs off 16 balls and has represented Australia in two T20 Internationals.
The attacking left-handed opening batsman captained the Sydney Sixers in the 2015/16 Big Bash and in 50 T20 career innings he averages 23.93. In 56 First-Class matches to date, Maddinson has scored 3,417 runs at an average of 37.14, including seven centuries. He will link up with the Amazon Warriors squad for the match away to St. Lucia Zouks July 24th at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.
