20-year-old Fateh Singh has signed with the Pears on a three-year contract.

Singh made a big impact in the club's Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign last summer, joining from Nottinghamshire.

Singh will remain at Visit Worcestershire New Road until the end of the 2027 season.

Initially joining Worcestershire on loan for the 50-over competition, Singh finished as the Rapids' second-highest wicket-taker, claiming 15 wickets in eight matches.

His performances were instrumental in helping the team reach the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year.

Singh's standout bowling performance came against Somerset, where he took 4-52.

He also made contributions against Kent Spitfires and Northamptonshire Steelbacks, forming a firing spin partnership with Tom Hinley.

In addition to his bowling, Singh showcased his batting potential with powerful late-order contributions, highlighted by a brisk 60 against Durham at New Road.

Singh has also represented England Under-19s, making 11 appearances between September 2021 and September 2022, including two ODIs at New Road, where he took nine wickets.

On his return to the club, Singh said: "I’m absolutely thrilled to sign this contract and be back with Worcestershire long term, I had such a great experience with the club last summer.

"Playing regularly and contributing with wickets as part of a young attack was very rewarding.

"I’m excited to be back at a club known for nurturing young talent, and I hope to follow in the footsteps of players like Jake Libby, who has thrived since joining from Nottinghamshire."

Worcestershire CEO Ashley Giles said: "We’re delighted to secure Fateh’s signing, which is a crucial step as we continue to build our squad.

"Fateh demonstrated his potential last summer in the One Day Cup, and strengthening our spin department has been a priority.

"We are putting together a team capable of competing at the highest level and building on last season’s successes."

He made his first-class debut on loan at Northamptonshire in the Vitality County Championship Division Two match against Yorkshire at the end of the season.
