Alex Evans signs first contract with Leicestershire CCC

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce that Academy Graduate Alex Evans has signed his first contract with the club.

The 19-year-old seamer will combine playing for the Foxes with his studies and playing commitments at Loughborough University in 2020.

Evans started and ended a breakthrough first-class 2019 season at the Fischer County Ground. He bowled well for Loughborough MCCU in the fixture against County in March and made his Leicestershire CCC debut towards the end of the season against Northamptonshire CCC.

The youngster went on to take four wickets in that match, and then collected the Young Player of the Year trophy at the 2019 End of Season Awards Evening.
