Worcestershire County Cricket Club are thrilled to announce that young batter Rehaan Edavalath has signed a new two-year deal with the club.
The 21-year-old, who has been part of the Worcestershire academy pathway, has impressed with recent performances after making his first-class debut against Derbyshire in 2023.
A product of the club’s youth system, the top-order batter continued his development into the senior set-up after featuring in seven One Day Cup fixtures during the course of last summer.
Edavalath, said committing to the club a long-term deal was a significant step in his professional career.
“It’s always special playing for Worcestershire. I want to push on and keep developing, so to know I am here for the long-term is incredibly special.
“I want to keep learning, keep improving, and contribute to the team whenever I’m called upon.”
The youngster has continued to impress across this season, top scoring for the seconds with 110 not out v Leicestershire at Leicester, whilst also scoring a half-century v Lancashire at Southport.
Speaking about the signing, Worcestershire Head Coach Alan Richardson said:
“Rehaan is a player we’ve been lucky enough to see progress through the ranks, who has excelled in the 2nd XI in recent times and to captain them at such a young age is testament to his progress.
“He’s shown a great deal of maturity and shown his skill in all formats, and we’re looking forward to see how he continues to develop.
“After such a bright start to his senior career and showing a lot of positive characteristics, there are some exciting times ahead of him.”
