NOTTINGHAMSHIRE’S Matt Carter has joined Cheshire to support the side’s 2023 T20 and KO Trophy campaigns.
Carter has previously turned out for Lincolnshire and has an excellent track record in white ball cricket, helping Nottinghamshire to win the T20 Blast in 2020.
The 26-year-old off spinner was also part of the Trent Rockets side which won The Hundred competition last year.
Carter, who signed a new contract with Nottinghamshire last November, is only expected to turn out in white ball cricket for Cheshire.
He is looking to break into his first-class county’s four-day side and speaking in November said: “When it comes to Notts playing in the first division next year, I hope I can contribute to that at some stage as well. I want to play as much cricket, across all formats and to win as many games of cricket as possible.”
