Leicestershire have re-signed Ben Green on loan from Somerset, in a deal that allows the all-rounder to continue to play white-ball cricket for his parent club.

The 26-year-old, who scored 133 runs and took eight wickets over two loan spells with the Foxes already this summer, will be available for Leicestershire's remaining five Championship games.

Green, who helped Somerset beat Leicestershire in the semi-final of the One-Day Cup on Sunday, will remain available to play for his parent club in the final.

He will also be available to play for Somerset in the knock-out stage of the T20 Blast competition.

鈥淗e adds great depth to our squad with both bat and ball at a crucial time for us," said Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson.
