The conveyor belt between Worcestershire and Nottinghamshire has cranked into action once again, with Jack Haynes swapping New Road for Trent Bridge.
Haynes, the highly rated top-order batsman, has signed for Notts on a three-year contract, and will move at the end of the current county season.
He is the third Pears player to make the switch in a matter of days, following seamers Josh Tongue and Dillon Pennington.

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."
