Fast bowler Abi Sakande has signed a new contract to remain at Leicestershire for the 2022 season.

The former Sussex paceman took seven wickets in three County Championship appearances after joining the Foxes last year.

"He has all the attributes to be a high-class bowler - height, lateral movement, pace and bounce," said Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon.
