Anurag Singh moves to Notts

Nottinghamshire have signed Anurag Singh, the former Worcestershire opener, on a three-year contract.

Singh, who started his career with Warwickshire in 1995, said, "I see Notts as an ideal vehicle upon which I can achieve further personal and team success." He added: "Both Mick Newell [director of cricket] and chief executive David Collier were very impressive when talking about their visions for the club and how they want to get Notts where they belong, winning trophies."

"Anurag has established himself as a fine player over the last few years on some difficult wickets at New Road," Newell said. "We needed to find a decent replacement after it became clear that Usman [Afzaal] would be moving on and Anurag was a natural choice as his career average is virtually identical."

Singh, 28, averages just over 31 and is Notts' second signing since the end of the season following David Alleyne from Middlesex.
