Miles Hammond has extended his Gloucestershire contract by a further two years.
The new deal ties the Cheltenham-born batsman to his home county until the end of the 2022 season.
A left-handed opener, Hammond featured in all formats of the game for Gloucestershire last season and was particularly successful in limited-overs cricket, scoring 322 Vitality Blast runs and averaging more than 40 in the Royal London Cup.
He said: “I’m very excited. It’s a club I’ve been at since I was 14 and being from Cheltenham I always wanted to play here.
“I’m thankful for the belief the club have shown me and I can’t wait to get back out on the field with an exciting bunch of lads once this uncertainty is over. We know we are capable of achieving big things and hopefully we get the chance to do that.”
Head coach Richard Dawson said of the 24-year-old’s extension: “We are delighted that Miles will be with us over the next few years. He is a young lad who is eager to learn and has developed his game each year. We look forward to working with him more and seeing how he matures as a cricketer.
Hopefully, with the club’s backing he can continue to show Gloucestershire supporters his ever-growing talent with the bat and his terrific character.”
