Surrey sign Australia paceman Spencer Johnson for Vitality Blast stint

SURREY have announced the signing of Australia fast bowler Spencer Johnson for the first eight matches of this year’s Vitality Blast.
With Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Reece Topley and Chris Jordan on England duty at next month’s T20 World Cup, Surrey have reinforced their Blast squad with the signing of left-armer Johnson.
The 28-year-old, currently at the Indian Premier League with Gujarat Titans and overlooked by Australia for the T20 World Cup, has already made waves in south London after his extraordinary haul of three wickets for just one run in 20 balls on his debut in The Hundred for Oval Invincibles last August.
