Fast bowler Stanley extends Lancashire stay

Mitchell Stanley joined Lancashire from Worcestershire in 2023

Lancashire Lightning fast bowler Mitchell Stanley has signed a new deal keeping him at the club until the end of the 2026 season.

The 24-year-old moved to Emirates Old Trafford from Worcestershire in 2023 and has made seven appearances for the Red Rose across both forms of white-ball cricket.

Stanley has spent time with England Lions, playing two red-ball matches in South Africa and Australia respectively.

"We have been really pleased by his commitment to training and physical development throughout his time with us so far – and this contract extension reflects that progression," Lancashire's director of cricket Mark Chilton told the club website.
