Voges and Hussey played for Australia in the one-day series win over England

Nottinghamshire have agreed deals to re-sign Australian batsmen David Hussey and Adam Voges as their overseas players for next season.

Voges will be available from the opening day of the season with Hussey set to join at the start of June.

Both are available for the duration of the FP t20 competition with Hussey then set to stay for the rest of the season.

"They are our preferred options and their availability suits us," said director of cricket Mick Newell.

"Adam and David made big contributions last season and the prospect of pairing them in the t20 is something we're very excited about."

Hussey, currently playing for Australia at the Cricket World Cup, scored 399 runs in five County Championship matches last season whilst Voges hit a superb century against Lancashire as Nottinghamshire secured the title at Old Trafford.

Voges said: "Winning the Championship with Nottinghamshire was a major highlight of my career and I am looking forward to returning to Trent Bridge and picking up where I left off.

"Being in the same Nottinghamshire team as David Hussey will be a strange experience for me because it has been one or the other in recent seasons but we both share a real affinity for the club."

Hussey added: "I've built a great relationship with Mick Newell and all of the players at Notts and I am looking forward to spending more time at Trent Bridge in 2011.

"It's great that Notts give me a regular opportunity to play county cricket and I want to help the team to make a push in all three competitions."
