Nottinghamshire have signed Proteas all-rounder George Linde for next year’s T20 Blast in the United Kingdom.
Linde previously played for Kent in the T20 Blast – and has also represented the Trent Rockets in The Hundred.
“It’s a great opportunity to play for Notts Outlaws, and I’m very excited to be coming back to the Blast, which is a competition that is a lot of fun to play in,” said Linde.
“I’m looking forward to joining up with the team, and I’ll be aiming to contribute with bat and ball as we look to return to the knockout stages.
“I’m really excited to return to Trent Bridge, which I had a lot of fun calling home with the Rockets last year. It’s a great venue, and I’m really excited to join a new team that has a very strong past record in T20 cricket.”
Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores added: “I’m excited that George has agreed to join us for the entire Blast season next summer.
“He has the ability to bowl at any stage of the innings, as well as being a powerful left-handed middle-order batter. George will add valuable experience to an already-talented spin group, making sure we’re covered for all conditions during the Blast.
“After spending some time with him at the Rockets, it was clear he has a real hunger to play in the Blast again after his first experience with Kent. We can’t wait to welcome him as part of our team.”
