Chris Liddle extends Gloucestershire Contract
23 October 2018
Gloucestershire Cricket is pleased to announce that seam bowler, Chris Liddle, has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at The Brightside Ground for the upcoming 2019 season.
In the 2017 Royal London One-Day Cup campaign, the 6ft 4in left armer took 18 wickets in just six matches and was the second highest wicket taker in the competition at an average of 15.11.
In 2018, Liddle was again Gloucestershire’s leading wicket taker in the Royal London One-Day Cup, with 13 wickets to his name in six matches at an average of 25.92.
A reliable performer, Middlesbrough-born Liddle arrived at The Brightside Ground at the start of the 2016 season on a two-year contract following a move from Sussex.
