Tom Moores, a two-time white-ball trophy winner with Notts Outlaws, has signed a new limited-overs contract with the club.
The wicketkeeper-batter is now committed to Trent Bridge until the end of the 2026 season having progressed through the club's player pathway eight years ago.
In all, the 28-year-old has scored 2,751 white-ball runs for the Outlaws, just under 2,000 of which have come in the T20 format - with only four players having made more.
His tally of 68 T20 dismissals is 18 shy of Chris Read’s club record, with Moores having played eight matches fewer, while he averages over 41 with the bat in List A cricket for Notts.
“This is a great chance for Tom to narrow his focus and really take a leading role in getting us back to where we want to be as a club in limited-overs cricket.” Director of Cricket, Mick Newell, said.
“His record speaks for itself; he’s built a lot of white-ball experience around the world while dedicating himself to Notts and won multiple trophies in both 20 and 50-over cricket.
“We believe he’ll be able to move his game forward again by concentrating on those formats, and he’ll also offer Joe Clarke and Haseeb Hameed valuable support with the volume of white-ball cricket he’s played.”
Moores secured his first silverware with Notts in 2017, winning the T20 Blast in a season of white-ball dominance for the Outlaws.
That season, no one in the Blast took more than his 13 dismissals and he proved a destructive force at the crease, striking at over 144.
Three years later, he lifted the Blast trophy for the second time averaging a shade under 27 with the bat, before securing a winner’s medal in The Hundred with Trent Rockets in 2022.
He has played franchise cricket in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and, most recently, Nepal, contributing to an overall tally of 2,311 T20 runs and 95 dismissals.
In List A cricket, he has 29 matches under his belt and averages 38.80, with a high-score of 76.
“This is an exciting opportunity to focus on a couple of formats and ultimately help Notts compete for titles in the white-ball space again,” Moores said.
“I feel like I’ve learned a lot from being here for nearly 10 years, playing with some club legends and winning trophies. Hopefully I'm at the point where I can pass that knowledge and experience on.
“I also think by honing in on my white-ball cricket, I can get the best out of myself and take my game forwards, which will ultimately benefit the club.
“There’s nothing I want more than to see Notts succeed - I’d love to play a part in that effort over the next few years and to see us competing for titles again.”
