Ian Saxelby, the 19-year-old quick bowler, has signed a three-year deal with Gloucestershire after impressing during a trial.

�..Having watched a lot of young bowlers at many levels around the country this season, he is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch," said club mentor Jack Russell.

Ian Saxelby added: �..I am looking forward to opportunity of playing for Gloucestershire. Hopefully things will go well over next few years and my cricket will improve over this time.�.�
