Experienced short-format specialist Benny Howell has joined Notts Outlaws on a two-year T20-only contract ahead of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

All-rounder Howell, 37, has amassed over 250 T20 appearances across the globe, and has previously represented Hampshire and Gloucestershire in the Vitality Blast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a real honour to sign for Notts Outlaws. The club have a rich history, a great fanbase, and play at a fantastic ground in Trent Bridge. I\u2019m looking forward to calling it home,\u201d said Howell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the way the club is run, with the coaching staff and group of talented players that are there, I was immediately excited when this opportunity first came up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known for his extensive arsenal of bowling variations, Howell has claimed 255 T20 wickets at just 23.12 apiece, while he has also notched over 3,000 runs at a strike rate north of 135.<\/p>\n

In addition to his 14-year Blast career, which has seen him reach the knockout stages on six occasions, Howell\u2019s CV also includes time in the franchise leagues of Australia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m constantly looking to improve my game and I believe this is the perfect environment to do that,\u201d continued Howell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith my skill set and experience, I hope to contribute to the team\u2019s success in the Blast, and ideally lift that trophy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Head Coach Peter Moores added: \u201cWe saw some really good examples of the progress that we\u2019re making as a side last year, and bringing Benny in will only serve to continue that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look back into recent history, we feel he can take on the role that Steven Mullaney played for many years in our T20 side, not just as a quality all-rounder, but also as that link between players with different levels of experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe feels like the perfect fit for where we are as a side right now, where we\u2019re trying to bring together our more experienced players, and those that are still emerging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really excited to welcome him to Trent Bridge, and we can\u2019t wait to see the impact he has both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
