Nottinghamshire all-rounders Liam Patterson-White and Lyndon James have signed new four-year contracts at Trent Bridge.
Slow left-armer Patterson-White, 24, and seam bowler James, 23, both had two years to run on their existing three-year deals, signed 14 months ago.
They were due to expire in 2024, but they are both now signed up with Notts until the end of the 2026 season.
Patterson-White was an ever-present as Notts won red-ball promotion in 2022.
He took 41 Division Two wickets in 14 matches at an average of 27.95 to help Notts return to Division One of the County Championship.
That made the former England Under-19 international the leading English spinner in this summer’s Championship, while he also took 11 wickets in the One-Day Cup and won an England Lions call-up.
James, who played one game less, hit three Championship centuries as he amassed 890 runs in 13 matches, but injury hampered his chances with the ball.
“Lyndon was limited by injury with his bowling this summer,” said Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores. “But we’re confident he will be back next season, making the same kind of impact he has in the past, often at key times.
“Liam’s call-ups for the Lions have been just reward for his performances. We’ve been aware of his all-round capabilities for some time, and to see them come to fruition on the field has been great to witness. He’s taken on responsibility in the past two years as our lead spinner and he’s shouldered that well.”
Both players have a connection with Worksop. James was born there, while Sunderland-born Patterson-White, who is seven weeks older, went to school there.
