Tom Scriven extends Leicestershire contract to 2025

The 24-year-old has scored 425 runs and taken 36 wickets since joining the club from Hampshire ahead of the 2022 campaign

Leicestershire allrounder Tom Scriven has signed a new two-year contract extension, which will keep him at the club until 2025.

Having come through the Hampshire youth system, the 24-year-old signed for Leicestershire ahead of the 2022 season.

Since making his debut for the club against Surrey in the One-Day Cup last year he has nailed down a regular spot in all three formats.

A lower-middle order batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler, he has taken 36 wickets and scored 425 runs in 23 appearances.

He is the latest player to commit his future the club over the past few weeks, with opening batter Rishi Patel and England allrounder Rehan Ahmed recently signing contract extensions of their own.

Scriven said: "It's a massive privilege to play for Leicestershire and wear the badge, so I'm really excited to extend my time here.

"I feel honoured that the club has backed me to extend my stay and put faith in me to play more first-team cricket this year, so I'm focussed on working to repay that trust as much as I can on the field.

"We've got a great shot at going upin the Championship and there's a nice belief in the team that we can go far in the One-Day Cup as well."

Director of cricket, Claude Henderson, added: "Tom has been impressive in both red and white-ball cricket for the first team during the past year.

"He has a high ceiling, and we are very excited to see his progression over the next couple of seasons."
