Donemana have confirmed the signing of pace bowler Melvin Deveraj from Merrion.

The 26 year-old had been deemed surplus to requirements by Leinster Lightning and was keen to continue to play at interproprovincial level with the Warriors.

The retirement of Graham Hume from representative cricket presented an opening, and Deveraj will now be plying his trade with the Senior Cup holders.

Donemana will be hoping the arrival of Pakistan professional Awais Zafar, Zimbabwean teenager Luke Marillier, Deveraj and Eglinton's Mark Averill will ignite a title challenge.

It's quite a coup for the Tyrone side, who clinched the deal by virtue of a strong recommendation from their Indian professional in 2025, Anuj Jotin.
