Gloucestershire have signed former England batter Dawid Malan for the 2026 and 2027 T20 Blast campaigns.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 38-year-old left Yorkshire last week with a year still on his contract after six seasons with the county.<\/p>\n

Malan retired from international cricket in August 2024, as one of only two men – along with Jos Buttler – to score a century in all three formats for England.<\/p>\n

He was part of the squad that won the T20 World Cup in 2022 and played in 22 Test matches, 30 one-day and 62 T20 internationals.<\/p>\n

Malan said Gloucestershire – who won the Blast in 2024 – were a club with “real ambition” to challenge for the title again next season.<\/p>\n

“You only have to speak to [director of cricket] Jon Lewis and [head coach] Mark Alleyne to understand the scale of their ambition. They are putting together a strong squad, and I am eager to contribute,” Malan said.<\/p>\n

“I have worked with both of them in the England set-up – they are positive, professional people and it will be great to join them and the players, and to help Gloucestershire challenge for titles.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
