Batter Jack Haynes has joined Nottinghamshire from Worcestershire on a three-year deal, effective from the conclusion of the 2023 season.
The 22-year-old has established a reputation in all formats since bursting onto the scene at New Road as a teenager, with First-Class average of 36 across 41 games, including four hundreds.
In List A cricket, the right hander averages a touch under 43, whilst his white-ball exploits have garnered a strike rate of over 143 from his 34 T20 games.
“I’m really excited to move to Nottinghamshire,” Haynes said.
“Trent Bridge is always a place I’ve loved coming to as a player; the club has a great feel about it, and the facilities and pitch are conducive to helping me develop as a cricketer.
“When I sat down with Pete Moores and Ant Botha, they were both passionate about the direction of this squad, and how I can fit into it.
“I’m under no illusion that it’ll take hard work to nail down a place in the side and continue to grow in all formats, but Notts have a track record of taking on players and improving them to help them reach their potential.”
Haynes has also played both for England U19s and England Lions, making a pair of half-centuries against Sri Lanka in the Lions’ most recent tour earlier this month, for which Haseeb Hameed was captain.
He follows Dillon Pennington and Josh Tongue to Trent Bridge on three year deals.
“Jack is already a good player though it his hunger to move his game forward that really excites me. He has already gained valuable experience in red and white ball cricket, which gives him a great platform to build on going forward,” Peter Moores said.
“As a top order batter in all formats he will strengthen our batting unit as well as adding healthy competition. We pride ourselves in helping players fulfil their potential and we have already seen many of our players move their games forwards at Trent Bridge.
“We pride ourselves as a coaching team in creating opportunities for all our players to keep improving, knowing that as they improve, so do Notts. Helping players develop is one of the most exciting parts of coaching in my opinion.”
