Liam Trevaskis has official revealed that he is leaving Durham Cricket for good. The 24-year-old left-armer, born in Carlisle, will move to Grace Road for the 2024 county season.
He made his debut for Durham in 2017 and has taken 125 wickets for the club in all formats of the game. Trevaskis will be a like-for-like replacement for fellow spinner Callum Parkinson, who agreed a deal with Durham in June to start next summer.
He has only played two of Durham’s 11 County Championship games this summer, which director of cricket Marcus North acknowledged was a factor in his decision.
Opportunities in red-ball cricket have been limited for Liam this year and in order to play more first-class cricket he has decided to make the move to Leicestershire,.
Trevaskis showed his white-ball ability by taking 12 wickets at an average of 26.91 and scoring 192 runs for Durham in the current One-Day Cup, but unlike Leicestershire, they did not qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.
Now is the right time for Liam to be playing regularly across all formats, which is something that Leicestershire was able to offer him. The team is in a great place, with talents across the board and quality overseas’ players.
