    Blair Tickner Returns To Derbyshire For The 2025 Season

    By IANS News January 16, 2025 • 19:00 PM View: 842
    Blair Tickner: New Zealand pacer Blair Tickner will return to Derbyshire for the 2025 season, the county club announced on Thursday. The 31-year-old initially joined Derbyshire for the 2024 campaign and featured in seven matches across the County Championship and Vitality Blast, before returning to New Zealand early, after his wife Sarah was diagnosed with leukaemia.

    With Sarah now on the road to recovery, Blair will rejoin Mickey Arthur’s side for all formats in 2025. He has played for his nation 34 times, claiming 47 international wickets, while his career haul stands at 450. He is currently among the leading wicket-takers in the Plunket Shield (first-class), Ford Trophy (List A), and Super Smash (T20) this season, with a combined 31 dismissals.

    “Despite everything, I loved my first spell with Derbyshire and I’ve kept in touch with the players and coaches, the club has supported me massively and I’m looking forward to getting back to England and showing what I can do," Tickner said in a statement. “I think everyone would agree that I have unfinished business with Derbyshire, I couldn’t show my quality the first time around and I’m coming back hungry to do just that and win games for the county,” he added.
