Worcestershire are hoping to name a second international paceman for the 2008 season to precede Fidel Edwards' expected arrival at New Road.

The West Indian Test fast bowler is not due to come until July.

But director of cricket Steve Rhodes has already expressed his intention to find another player to cover the first three months of the 2008 campaign.

"The chase for another bowler is on," said Rhodes. "And we hope to name someone in the next few days."
