Josh joins Leicestershire on loan
Somerset all-rounder, Josh Thomas is set to join Leicestershire CCC on loan.
The 20-year-old will be available for the Foxes final four group stage matches in this year’s Vitality Blast and could be in line to make his debut against Northants Steelbacks this evening.
Josh, who signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2024 season, will return to the Cooper Associates County Ground ahead of this year’s Metro Bank One Day Cup which gets underway in August.
Regarding the loan, Somerset CCC Director of Cricket, Andy Hurry said: “Josh is a player of high potential who has performed well for our Second XI this season. We envisage him having a role to play within our 50-over squad this summer and therefore the timing of this loan agreement is ideal as it will see him gain important First XI exposure.
“The move will play an important role in both his short-term and long-term development and we look forward to seeing him return to Taunton in a position where he can hit the ground running ahead of the next stage of the season.”
