Leicestershire have signed all-rounder Ben Green from Somerset on a permanent deal following several loan periods at the club.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old rejoins the Foxes on loan for the final three rounds of their County Championship campaign before becoming a permanent member of the squad on 1 November.<\/p>\n

Green initially joined Leicestershire on a short-term loan deal in April 2024 and returned for two more temporary spells during last season.<\/p>\n

In March,<\/a> Green re-signed for the first seven County Championship matches of this summer before returning for two more at the end of June. <\/p>\n

He then extended that stay for a further two matches <\/a>in July and has been an ever-present in the red-ball side which has taken Division Two by storm this season, currently sitting 28 points clear of second-placed Glamorgan, and looking destined for promotion.<\/p>\n

A right-arm seam bowler, Green has taken 31 wickets in the County Championship so far, making him the joint-third highest wicket taker in the second division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leicestershire have signed all-rounder Ben Green from Somerset on a permanent deal following several loan periods at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-88303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
