Worcestershire have signed former Lancashire batsman Adrian Shankar until the end of the 2011 campaign.

The 26-year-old Cambridge University graduate came through the ranks of the Middlesex academy and was later snapped up by Lancashire on a two-year deal.

Shankar has spent the winter in Sri Lanka playing for Colombo where he impressed in Twenty20 and first class cricket.

Worcestershire director of cricket, Steve Rhodes, said: "Adrian was the leading run scorer in Sri Lanka's Twenty20 tournament and also scored three successive hundreds in the longer form of the game.

"Adrian has the potential to develop further after his recent winter experiences and is keen to make an impact across all forms of the game."
