Northamptonshire sign Will Young for 2022 season

Northamptonshire has marked Will Young for the 2022 season, the district affirmed on Wednesday (December 8). The New Zealand hitter will be accessible to play most of the County Championship and Royal London Cup installations. "I'm exceptionally eager to sign with Northamptonshire for the 2022 season," Young said. "I consider it to be an awesome open door for me to keep on finding out with regards to the conditions in the UK yet, in addition, to add however much I can toward the Northamptonshire climate." The 29-year-old has hit 12 centuries and scored north of 5000 runs in top-of-the-line cricket. Two of those hundreds came for Durham in the 2021 season where he had a short spell. He has played eight T20Is, two ODIs, and five Tests for New Zealand such a long way with his latest appearance coming in India during the two-match Test series where he hit an 89 in the drawn first game. "Several senior players have continued on this year and are no longer with us for different reasons so it was truly significant we made up for that shortfall of a senior hitter to bat up the highest point of the request," lead trainer John Sadler said subsequent to marking Young. "He's a-list, he's a global player who played delightfully last week in the Test matches, yet we've had our eyes on him for a decent two or three months truly since the finish of the period."
