Somerset captain Lewis Gregory has signed a two-year contract extension with the club.
The 33-year-old all-rounder captained the club to the T20 Blast title this season and in 2023, and is their all-time leading wicket taker in T20 cricket.
Gregory scored 18 runs and took one wicket as Somerset beat Hampshire in the final at Edgbaston last weekend.
In total, he has scored more than 7,500 runs and taken 637 wickets in all formats for the club.
Gregory’s new deal will keep him at Somerset until the end of the 2027 season.
“There’s something genuinely special about Somerset and I wouldn’t want to be playing my cricket anywhere else,” he told the club’s website, external.
“I still get a buzz when I drive through the gates every day, and I just can’t describe what it means to me to be able to lead this team. Walking out on to the field to represent the region is something that I take extremely seriously, and I’ll continue to give my all every time I set foot on the park.
“I’ve loved the responsibility of captaining this incredible group of players and, hopefully, we will be able to give our members and supporters a few more trophies over the next couple of years.”
