Seamer Allison signs Essex contract extension

Essex seam bowler Ben Allison has signed a contract extension to keep him at Chelmsford until the end of 2024.

He also played three County Championship matches in September, with 12 wickets at an average of just 13.41.

“It was a great way to end the season, so to be offered an extension is very satisfying,” he told the club website.

“It’s a tough bowling attack to break into but I learn so much from them and I know when I get my chance, I’ll be ready.”

Head coach Anthony McGrath added: “With his height, he offers another angle of attack for us and compliments the rest of the attack nicely.”
