Hampshire have signed former Derbyshire spinner David Wainwright as cover for their County Championship match at Somerset.
Skipper Liam Dawson is away with England, while young off-spinner Brad Taylor is struggling with an ankle injury.
Wainwright, a useful lower-order batsman as well as an experienced off-spinner, has been playing for Shropshire in Minor Counties cricket since leaving Derbyshire last August.
Hampshire's director of cricket Giles White said that he will make a decision on whether Wainwright stays with the club after the Somerset match.
"He'll be available for selection at Taunton and then we'll see from there," he told BBC Radio Solent.
