Derbyshire have
re-signed Scotland spin bowler Mark Watt for the 2023 season.
The 26-year-old, who featured in this year's
T20 World Cup for Scotland, has had two previous spells with Derbyshire, the
first coming in 2019.
Last summer he took 13 wickets for the Falcons
in the T20 Blast and claimed nine wickets in three County Championship
appearances for the side.
"He showed at the World Cup he can
trouble anyone," said Derbyshire head of cricket Mickey Arthur.
The spinner helped Scotland
shock two-time T20 world champions West Indies at the
tournament in Australia, taking 3-12 in their group-stage win earlier this
month.
"Mark's attention to detail is what makes
him such an exciting cricketer," Arthur added.
"He's always taking notes and is
meticulous in his preparation for matches, that's something which will be key
for us in all formats next season."
