Shiv Thakor: Derbyshire all-rounder signs extended deal

Shiv Thakor joined Derbyshire from Leicestershire to further his England ambitions

All-rounder Shiv Thakor has signed a new one-year contract extension which will keep him at Derbyshire until the end of the 2017 season.

Thakor, 22, was the club's leading wicket-taker in both limited-overs formats in 2015, taking 15 T20 Blast wickets and 11 in the One-Day Cup.

Elite performance director Graeme Welch said: "Shiv is another exciting young talent we have.

"He now has a big summer ahead to build on the experiences of 2015."

Thakor joined Derbyshire from Leicestershire prior to the 2015 season.
