Derbyshire has signed New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham for the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast.

The left-handed batsman, who has made 41 appearances for the Black Caps since making his debut in a Twenty20 international in 2012, will be available for the whole campaign this summer.

The 25-year-old has vast experience in the shortest format, featuring in 69 Twenty20 fixtures including appearances for IPL franchises Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders, scoring at an average of just under 30 and claiming 51 wickets, with best figures of 3-16.

We take a look at some of the images from Neesham’s career, so far.
