Derbyshire signed fast bowler, Zak Chappell, from Nottinghamshire and the right-armer has gone on to impress across all formats.

In his first season at Derbyshire, Chappell claimed a remarkable 26 T20 wickets during the Blast, the highest return ever in a single campaign by a Derbyshire bowler.

In 2024, Chappell was exceptional with bat and ball, putting in some memorable performances.

With the ball, Chappell took 31 first-class wickets and 64 in all competitions, topping the charts for the second successive season and deservedly receiving his County Cap in September.

He took 33 white ball wickets, 17 in the Metro Bank One Day Cup and 16 in the Vitality Blast. Not since Steve Oldham took 35 limited overs wickets in 1982 has an English-born bowler taken so many wickets for Derbyshire in the shorter forms of the game.

Chappell also scored 590 runs including a remarkable 94 not out at Northampton to secure an unlikely win in the opening Metro Bank game, as well as three half-centuries in red ball matches.
