WARWICKSHIRE say they are delighted Richard Gleeson’s story with the Bears with add more chapters with a new two-year contract.

- By JAMES ROBINSON

The 37-year-old is now committed to play T20 Vitality Blast cricket in both 2026 and 2027.

Across an extensive T20 and Hundred career, Gleeson boasts 148 wickets in 128 matches at an average of 23.48, including stints in the IPL with Chennai Super Kings in 2024 and Mumbai Indians in 2025.

Gleeson was offered his first professional county trial by Warwickshire more than a decade ago, with his move to the Bears in 2024 marking a “full circle” moment.

The English fast bowler was part of the Bears side which reached the quarter finals of the 2024 tourna-

ment, where they eventually lost to Gloucestershire. He has been a key part of the side in the year's competition, helping Bears reach the upcoming quarterfinal against Somerset.

The Bears head to Taunton for the last-eight tie on Saturday September 6.
