Turner’s quality as a middle-order batter and leader is highly valued at Durham and North said he was delighted to have him back.
“It is great to news to have Ashton returning to Durham this season,” North said. “During his two spells at the club, he has demonstrated vital leadership skills and fits into our dressing room very well.
“He is a proven leader and run scorer having captained the Scorchers and Western Australia to multiple championships in recent years. I look forward to him returning to the club in May.”
He has played nine ODIs and 19 T20Is for Australia, with his most recent international coming against South Africa during a three-match T20I series last year.
