"We want to be challenging for silverware. We have all the qualities, it's about building on the positives."

Derbyshire cricket advisor Kim Barnett said: "Daryn has been a fantastic addition to our squad this summer. He has made telling contributions both on the field and in the dressing room as one of our senior players.
"He is a versatile player, providing options with bat, ball and gloves when required, and he will continue to provide support and advice to our younger guys."
