Hammond signs new three-year Gloucestershire deal

Hammond was just 17 when he made his Gloucestershire debut in 2013

Long-serving Gloucestershire batter Miles Hammond has signed a new three-year contract with the county.

The left-hander, who made his debut in 2013, has gone on to score almost 8,000 runs across all formats of the game.

The 29-year-old was a key member of Gloucestershire's T20 Blast-winning side last season, hitting an unbeaten 58 from 41 balls to seal their victory over Somerset in the final at Edgbaston.

Also an accomplished fielder, Hammond holds a club record for most catches in T20 cricket, having taken 71 to date.

"Miles has been a mainstay across all formats for us, challenging and occupying key positions," said Gloucestershire head coach Mark Alleyne.

"Gaining a further commitment from him to continue as a Gloucestershire player is brilliant news. I know his influence will continue to grow with this group."
