Coetzer extends Durham contract

Kyle Coetzer, the Scotland batsman, has extended his contract with Durham by one year as he looks to cement his place in the first team.

Coetzer, 23, performed well in last year's Friends Provident Trophy and struck 61 for Durham in their final against Hampshire at Lord's. And, in the winter, he has spent time in Mumbai to work on his batting skills against spin.

"I felt during last season I got out a couple of times when I should not have done against spin bowling.," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "I also felt I was lacking in ideas sometimes in the one-day format, so I went to the Academy in Mumbai where I spent 10 days batting against their spinners.

"My target this year is not only to hold down a regular place in the first team, but to contribute more too," said Coetzer. "I want to score more hundreds and contribute to the whole effort of the team, not just hope to hold down a place in it."
