England fast bowler Josh Tongue is leaving Worcestershire for Nottinghamshire.
Tongue debuted for Worcestershire in first-class competition in 2016 and, this year, has been capped twice in Test cricket, including during the ongoing Ashes series.
“When I found out Notts were interested, I was delighted,” said Tongue. “From what I see and hear, it is a really well run club which places a big emphasis on player progress, which is what I want right now.
“The Notts squad is also full of international experience and I am looking forward to watching and learning from these players in practice as well as in games.
“While I have had a bit of success recently, which is really rewarding, I still want to keep improving and developing to be the best player I can be.”
Nottinghamshire have also signed fast bowler Dillon Pennington from Worcestershire.
Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores added: “Dillon and Josh are already highly skilled bowlers, though it is their potential to improve further that really excites us.
“Dillon is someone who is still early in his career yet has already gained extensive experience in both the red- and white-ball formats of the game and his ceiling is extremely high.
“Likewise, Josh has taken the international game by storm in the last few months, overcoming various setbacks early in his career to enjoy his current success.”
