Lancashire batter Marcus Harris has signed a new deal to remain with the club until the end of the 2027 season.
The 32-year-old Australia international initially signed as an overseas player for this summer’s County Championship and One-Day Cup competitions.
Harris has had an impressive start to 2025 despite the county’s winless season so far and is the leading scorer in the County Championship, with 825 runs and an average of 63.
“I have loved the start of my time with Lancashire and I am really pleased to extend my contract at Old Trafford by a further two years,” he said., external
“It was a great honour to be asked to lead the Red Rose in four-day cricket and I hope that I can continue to make positive contributions, both with the bat and as a leader on the field.
“The start to this season hasn’t been what we all would have wanted, but we are determined to put things right in the County Championship when we next take to the field at the end of June.”
Harris, who has played 14 Tests for Australia, joined having previously played county cricket with Leicestershire and Gloucestershire.
His impressive form this term has seen him score three centuries and three half-centuries this season and his contract extension comes after head coach Dale Benkenstein left by mutual consent earlier this week.
