Talented England batsmen Haseeb Hameed has signed for Nottinghamshire on a two year deal after his release from Lancashire in the summer.<\/p>\n
The 22 year smashed his way into the first class scene in 2015 making a century for his county as a teenager and alerting the international side with an average over 40. He became the youngest player to score 1,000 runs in a season for Lancashire and was named in the 2016 Test squad for the tour of Bangladesh before making his international test debut against India where he scored over 50.<\/p>\n
In three tests for England he\u2019s averaged 43.80 but a subsequent loss of form has seen Hameed drop away from international recognition and slide out of Lancashire contention but with his surprising release many clubs were still interested which is a testament to the undeniable potential he has.<\/p>\n
After fending off competition from Worcestershire among others Notts are delighted with the capture of the Bolton born right-hander with Coach Peter Moores confident the youngster can recapture his form of old stating \u201cHaseeb\u2019s approach is patient, methodical and based on crease occupation. They\u2019re old-fashioned virtues in many ways, but they\u2019re completely relevant to the modern-day game and exactly what we need to help us get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Habeeb said upon his move south \u201c\u201cI\u2019m very excited to be joining Nottinghamshire and playing \u00a0my cricket at Trent Bridge,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA special mention to Mick Newell and Peter Moores at Notts for believing in me. I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a new chapter in both my life and career and I\u2019m full of excitement to start working with my new teammates and helping get Notts back up to Division 1 where they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
