Lancashire's Hodge jets out to join Kolkata
10:47am Monday 28th April 2008
Lancashire's overseas batsman Brad Hodge will miss the next five weeks of the domestic season to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.
He said said: "Twenty20 is a format that I really enjoy and have a good record in, and to be part of the inaugural IPL tournament is something most cricketers would find hard to turn down.
"It's been an extremely difficult decision to make, but Lancashire have been very understanding of my situation and I hope to repay them on the field when I return."
Lancashire have no current plans to bring in another overseas player for this period.
