Hurst signs new three-year deal with Lancashire

Maty Hurst made his first-class debut for Lancashire in September 2023

Matty Hurst has agreed a new three-year contract to stay with Lancashire until the end of the 2027 season.

Hurst, 21, had a breakthrough summer with the Red Rose, playing in every Championship and T20 Blast game as a wicketkeeper-batter.

That included a maiden hundred in a match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in May.

"I am over the moon to sign a new contract with my home county and to commit to Lancashire for at least the next three seasons," he told the club website.

Although Lancashire were relegated to Division Two, Hurst scored 677 runs in the Championship, with one century and five fifties to his name.

That form saw him selected for England Lions this winter, while he is currently in Australia preparing to play for Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash.

"It was great to play so much first-team cricket last season in the County Championship and T20," he said.

"Thankfully, I was able to take my opportunity and showcase what I can do.

"I am looking forward to the winter and improving my game. Hopefully I can develop my skills further and bring that back to Lancashire next summer as we look to go straight back up into Division One and have a strong season in the Blast."
