"Off-spinner Amar Virdi has left Surrey after 15 years at the club" perhaps he should come to Lancs??

WORCESTERSHIRE
Worcestershire have signed Nottinghamshire spinner Fateh Singh on a three-year contract, following his short-term One-Day Cup loan in the 2024 season.
Slow left-armer Singh, 20, who finished the season on another loan with Northamptonshire, is now tied to Worcester until the end of the 2027 campaign.
"This is a crucial step as we continue to build our squad," said Worcestershire chief executive Ashley Giles.
"Strengthening our spin department has been a priority. Fateh demonstrated his potential in the One-Day Cup."
The former England Under-19 international made his first-class debut when Northants played Yorkshire in the final Division Two game of the season - but will now be in contention to play in Division One for Worcestershire, who comfortably stayed up, finishing in their highest position since County Championship cricket switched to a two-tier structure in 2000.
Skipper Brett D'Oliveira's shoulder injury limited his bowling, while the Pears also opted not to pursue the mooted signing of Surrey's Amar Virdi, following his two loans at New Road.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be back with Worcestershire long term," said Nottingham-born Singh, who was part of a young Pears side that surprisingly made the One-Day Cup quarter-finals.
"Playing regularly and contributing with wickets as part of a young attack was very rewarding. I was made to feel so welcome, and I found a strong rhythm with the ball. With several players out injured, everyone stepped up, which was brilliant."

Sad to see Liam Norwell retire, aged 32, due to injury. Seemed to be on the cusp of international honours at the back end of 2022 but hardly played another game, if at all. Good bowler, decent wheels, reminded me of Liam Plunkett.
Warwickshire keeper, Michael Burgess, has also ret1red unexpectedly aged 30 to pursue interests outside the game.

Mind you getting nine wickets in your last game in the last innings is probably a way to go out. |
