Leicestershire batter Sam Evans has signed a new one-year deal.

The 25-year-old was instrumental in the Foxes' One-Day Cup title win, scoring an assured 60 in their final-ball victory over Hampshire in September.

Evans, who came through the club's academy, has scored 1,447 runs in 36 appearances across all formats after making his debut in 2017.

"Winning the One-Day Cup final with my hometown club was without doubt the best day of my life," Evans said.

"I can't wait to try and help us win more silverware next summer."
