Jerome Taylor, the West Indies fast bowler, is in negotiations with Glamorgan for a stint following their Test and one-day tour of England which concludes in July.A spokesman from Glamorgan couldn’t confirm to Cricinfo that the deal had been finalised, but a source at the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said talks with the county were ‘at an advanced stage’.Taylor is negotiating a sponsorship deal with Digicel which is, according to Caribbeancricket.com, reportedly worth $40,000. Should Taylor join Glamorgan, he would join a list of West Indian legends to have played for the county, including Viv Richards, Roy Fredericks and Winston Davis.And although only 22, Taylor is one of West Indies’ brightest fast bowling hopes. He has 31 wickets from his ten Tests and has been an economical and incisive one-day bowler.West Indies will play four Tests, three one-dayers and two Twenty20s against England this summer – with their last match, the third one-dayer at Trent Bridge, on July 7.
