Voges commits to Nottinghamshire

Adam Voges, the Western Australia batsman, has agreed to re-join Nottinghamshire as the club's overseas player for next season.

Voges stepped in when international commitments and an IPL contract prevented David Hussey from appearing last season. In 11 Championship matches he made 550 runs with three fifties.

"Adam made a good contribution and we feel that there's more to come from him now that he has more experience of English conditions," said Nottinghamshire's director of cricket, Mick Newell. "We were keen to find a player that can commit to us for the whole season and Adam is in a position to do that at the moment.

"He played some good innings for us, did a very good job at first slip and he can bowl left-arm spin. We don't think that we'll have quite as much access to Graeme Swann and Samit Patel next season so we may be able to make more use of Adam's versatility."
