London, 26 November (Hindustan Reporter). Nottinghamshire have signed Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams for next year’s Vitality T20 Blast.
Sams represented Essex in the last three seasons, he has also played in the Hundred for Trent Rockets, winning a winners’ medal in 2022.
“The priority for us was to bring in an experienced overseas player who can contribute with bat and ball,” Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores was quoted as saying by the club. Dan is the perfect player in this regard – he has a unique skill set that we already have in our squad, and he will be a great support to Joe Clark as captain.”
Nottinghamshire won their second Blast title in 2020, but have since failed to progress beyond the quarter-final stage and finished bottom of the North Group in 2024.
Commenting on the signing, Sams said, “I really enjoyed my time at Trent Bridge for the Hundred, so it’s really good that I’ll be back for the Blast with Notts. My experience playing at Trent Bridge has always been extraordinary – the home supporters are passionate and I am excited to play in front of them. The Blast itself is a competition I enjoy and I am delighted to have the opportunity to test myself in the North Group in 2025. “I look forward to connecting with my new teammates as summer gets into full swing.”
