Notts Outlaws have signed hard-hitting Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams for the 2025 Vitality Blast.
A middle-order batter and left-arm fast bowler, Sams has been capped 10 times by his country in T20 cricket.
He has nearly 2,000 runs and in excess of 210 wickets from 176 T20 games.
“It was a priority for us to bring in an experienced overseas player who can contribute with bat and ball,” said Nottinghamshire's Head Coach Peter Moores.
“Dan is the perfect player in that respect - he has a unique skill set to that which we’ve already got in our squad, and he’ll be a great support to Joe Clarke as captain.
“He’s got the added bonus of having played T20 cricket in England and knowing what it asks of you, as well as handling the pressure of franchise cricket around the world.
“We’re excited for what he’ll bring to the group both on and off the field; our expectations as a club are high in this format of the game, and we want to get back to the standards we have set ourselves.
“Adding Dan to the group is a great start in building a team that will entertain our supporters and win us games in the season ahead.”
Sams has played in Big Bash League - in which he made his top score of 98* - as well as in the Pakistan Super League, Indian Premier League and The Hundred.
He represented Trent Rockets in 2022 and 2023 - winning the trophy in his first year - having also played for Essex in the Vitality Blast.
“I really enjoyed my time at Trent Bridge for The Hundred, so it’s really cool I’ll be returning for the Blast with Notts,” Sams said.
“My experiences playing at Trent Bridge have always been exceptional - the home supporters are passionate and I’m excited to play in front of them.
“The Blast itself is a competition I’ve come to love and I’m relishing the chance to test myself in the North Group in 2025.
“I look forward to joining up with my new teammates when the summer gets into full swing.”
