Townville have confirmed a second signing for 2027 with quick bowler Adnan Ghani joining from Huddersfield League side Hoylandswaine.
He brings a wealth of experience, having taken 468 league wickets across his 10 years at Hoylandswaine, Delph and Thongsbridge.
Ghani has also played international cricket, representing the Pakistan Deaf Cricket Team at their T20 World Cup 2024.
Townville, meanwhile, have been voted as having the best pitch in the Bradford Premier League.
Pitch marks for 2026 season, as voted for weekly by the umpires, saw the club score 4.2 for evenness of bounce; 4.1 for seam movement; 4.3 for carry; 4 for turn; and 4 for outfield.

It is a great achievement and the club has thanked David Booth and Lee Poulter for the hard work and many hours put in by both to achieve such a good score.
