Worcestershire wicketkeeper Henry Cullen signs new three-year contract extension until 2029

Worcestershire wicketkeeper Henry Cullen has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new three-year contract extension, keeping him at New Road until at least 2029.

The 23-year-old, who progressed through the Pears' academy system before making his senior competitive debut in 2022, has become a dependable presence across all three formats. In total, he has made 38 appearances for the club, famously scoring the winning runs in Worcestershire's One-Day Cup final triumph last season.

"I love playing my part within the dressing room and a big factor in my decision has been the ability to contribute that little bit more over the last two years where I feel I am improving," Cullen told the club's official website.

Cullen has demonstrated strong form with the bat, recording four List A half-centuries as well as registering a career-best 64 against Northamptonshire in the County Championship earlier this month.

Worcestershire chief executive Ashley Giles praised Cullen's progression and highlighted his importance to the club's future plans.

"Henry is a superb young cricketer, who has a lot of potential as both a batter and a wicketkeeper," said Giles. "We are always looking to build for the future, and Henry is part of that longer-term vision and someone who we see playing a key role across all formats."

In additional squad news, Worcestershire have also completed the signing of Australian seam bowler Sam Greer on a two-year deal after the 24-year-old impressed while featuring for the second XI this summer.
