Leicestershire have signed fast bowler Tom Helm on a two-week loan deal from Middlesex.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old former England Lions seamer has taken 177 wickets in 65 first-class games at an average of 32.08 and is available for this week’s trip to Sussex, which starts on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Foxes are yet to win after earning promotion to Division One for this season, having drawn two and lost two of their first four matches.<\/p>\n

“The club has been playing some really good cricket and there’s a strong group here, so I’m looking forward to contributing however I can and helping the team,” Helm told the Foxes’ club website., external<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Head coach Alfonso Thomas said Helm, was a “high-quality bowler” who gives the squad “another strong option within our attack”.<\/p>\n

Helm, who has a career-best haul of 6-110, taken against Surrey in 2023, has played once for Middlesex this summer – taking 2-77 in the draw against Northamptonshire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
