Scotland batter George Munsey has agreed a deal to join Notts Outlaws for the duration of the 2026 Vitality Blast.
Munsey, 33, has more than 150 white-ball caps for his country, and was selected for his nation’s squad for the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
He has scored in excess of 2,600 T20 runs in his career, at an average of 28.17 and a strike rate north of 141, and has previously represented Hampshire and Kent in the Vitality Blast.
Munsey will be available for the entirety of the Outlaws’ Blast campaign in 2026, which begins against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge on Friday 22nd May, including any potential knockout games.
“I’m really excited to get the opportunity to come and play for Notts and call a wonderful venue like Trent Bridge home in the middle of summer,” said Munsey.
“I’ll be taking this chance with both hands and aiming to contribute as much as I can, both on the field and off it, and hopefully we can deliver success this year.”
As a British passport holder, Munsey will be registered as a domestic player for the duration of his stay at Trent Bridge.
Born in Oxford, Munsey moved to Scotland aged 13 and was educated in Musselburgh in Edinburgh’s eastern suburbs, before making his international debut in June 2015.
He has a T20 top score of 132, made from just 61 balls in a 2024 World Cup qualifier, while in June 2018 hit a crucial 55 as Scotland pulled off a famous ODI win over England in Edinburgh.
“I feel like I have a lot of experience that I can bring to this group, and hopefully that will help us have a successful year in the Blast,” continued Munsey.
“So many great players have played for the Outlaws in this format down the years, and I can’t wait to step out at Trent Bridge in front of a big crowd this summer.”
Head Coach, Peter Moores, added: “George adds another experienced batter to our Blast squad, as we continue to develop our team into one that can really push for honours in this format.”
“There will still be plenty of opportunities for our homegrown players to push their case for selection, though George gives us additional depth and experience.
“That will be important as we head into another busy season in all formats of the game.”
