Cameron Delport: Leicestershire all-rounder extends contract until end of 2019

Cameron Delport has a Twenty20 average of 25.68 with a highest score of 103 not out

Leicestershire have extended the contact of all-rounder Cameron Delport until the end of the 2019 season.

The 28-year-old, who was born in South Africa but qualifies as a non-overseas player, first joined the club in 2016.

"We are really excited that Cameron has signed an extension to his contract," said head coach Pierre de Bruyn.

"He has been a match winner for us with the bat in both in the 50-over and T20 format, offers us a good option with the ball and is also a fine fielder."

Delport took 1-14 and then hit four fours in a 17-ball 19 last week in the Foxes opening T20 Blast three-wicket victory over Lancashire.

Leicestershire return to action on Friday when they travel to New Road to face Worcestershire.
