Will Davis left Derbyshire for Leicestershire, at 22, after the conclusion of the 2018 season. The following summer was his most successful, with 29 first-class wickets, and he also made encouraging strides in T20, relying on changes of pace to help Leicestershire into the 2020 Blast quarter-finals. Davis had made 13 first-class appearances for Derbyshire following a debut in 2015 against the touring Australians, and claimed 40 wickets at an average of 31.57 in a career not short of interruptions because of injury.
