Lancashire have signed Victoria seamer Mitch Perry for the first block of matches in the 2026 County Championship.

The 25-year-old Australian will join up with the Red Rose for their games in April and May.

He has taken 136 wickets in first-class cricket at an average of 29, but this season the right-arm bowler has grabbed 22 in five matches in the Sheffield Shield.

"Lancashire is a club with a proud history and a strong squad, and I'm looking forward to contributing on and off the field," he told the club website., external
