Batter Sheridon Gumbs has been handed a one-month contract with Leicestershire after being promoted from the club’s second XI.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old has been with the Foxes since the start of the 2025 season, but is yet to make a first-class, List A or T20 Blast appearance for the East Midlands club.<\/p>\n
Gumbs, a former England Under-19 international who made four List A appearances for Surrey in the One-Day Cup in 2022, has signed his short-term deal with Leicestershire after scoring an unbeaten 79 in the second XI’s one-run T20 victory against Nottinghamshire earlier this week.<\/p>\n
“Sheridon has worked extremely hard since arriving at the club and has thoroughly earned this opportunity,” said Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson.<\/p>\n
“His performances for the second XI have been consistently impressive and he has shown he can score runs against strong opposition in a variety of situations.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Batter Sheridon Gumbs has been handed a one-month contract with Leicestershire after being promoted from the club’s second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-624621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
