Paul Farbrace, Director of Cricket at Warwickshire, said: “We think a lot of Alex and this loan move represents the best opportunity for him to get first team cricket during this early part of the season, with Danny Briggs confirmed as our starting spinner.
“He’s due back at the end of May and will have an opportunity to compete for a place in the Vitality Blast team and subsequently the Royal London Cup, where he performed superbly in 2019.”
