18 July 2022
Nottinghamshire bowler Zak Chappell has returned to Gloucestershire on loan for the two County Championship matches v Hampshire and Northants at the Cheltenham Cricket Festival.
Pace bowler, Chappell, returns for his third loan spell of the season at Glos having already spent time with Dale Benkenstein’s side in May and June.
Having first signed for The Shire in early May, Chappell has impressed with a string of good performances in first-class and T20 cricket. Featuring initially in Gloucestershire’s County Championship side and latterly in the Vitality Blast, Chappell has claimed 11 wickets in seven appearances across all competitions.
His best bowling performances for Glos came in the Vitality Blast, where he took 3/19 v Sussex in Hove and 3/24 v Kent at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol.
Steve Snell, Performance Director at Glos Cricket, said: “We’re excited that Zak has rejoined us on loan for the two County Championship matches at Cheltenham. With Zak’s pace and bounce, he will be a valuable asset for us.
“He’s also a great character to have around in the dressing room and he’s already made a great impression, so we’re excited to have him back for the next couple of matches.”
