England’s Jenny Gunn has followed Danni Wyatt out of the door at Nottinghamshire, making the move across the Midlands to Warwickshire.

Notts were relegated from Division 1 of the Women’s County Championship at the end of last season; and an exeat was therefore expected as their England players seek to maintain a high standard of domestic cricket.

In 10 seasons at Notts, Gunn scored nearly 3,000 runs at an impressive average of 46 (helped by a fair few of Not Outs) and took 83 wickets, including her domestic career-best 5-3 against Kent last season.

The signing is a massive boost for Warwickshire, who have been to the brink of relegation themselves a number of times recently, but have acquired the useful  knack of somehow clinging on.
