England move to further my career - Olivier

Duanne Olivier says his decision to leave South Africa and sign a three-year Kolpak deal with Yorkshire was to further his career.

Kolpak regulations allow players from countries with associate trade agreements with the European Union to sign as non-overseas players.

Olivier took 48 wickets in his first 10 Tests for the Proteas and recently broke into the one-day team in a World Cup year. But he's now setting his sights on playing Test cricket for England when he qualifies in three years time.

Olivier tells Alison Mitchell why he switched.
