Notts Outlaws have signed Scotland batter George Munsey for this year’s T20 Blast campaign.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old has featured 155 times for his country in white-ball matches and most recently played a part in their T20 World Cup campaign, which ended in the group stage earlier in February.<\/p>\n

He top scored with 84 in Scotland’s only win in the competition against Italy.<\/a><\/p>\n

Munsey has scored more than 2,700 runs playing T20 franchise cricket, with stints in Bangladesh, Nepal and United Arab Emirates coming among spells in the Blast with Hampshire and Kent.<\/p>\n

“I feel like I have a lot of experience that I can bring to this group, and hopefully that will help us have a successful year in the Blast,” he told Notts’ website., external<\/a><\/p>\n

While Notts have won the competition twice – most recently in 2020 – they have failed to reach the knockout stage of the T20 Blast in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

Notts head coach Peter Moores said Munsey brings batting experience to a side he hopes to develop into one that “can really push for honours in this format”.<\/p>\n

“There will still be plenty of opportunities for our homegrown players to push their case for selection, though George gives us additional depth and experience,” Moores said.<\/p>\n

“That will be important as we head into another busy season in all formats of the game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Notts Outlaws have signed Scotland batter George Munsey for this year’s T20 Blast campaign.
