Elite Performance Director, Graeme Welch said: “Harvey is an exciting talent and an exceptional wicketkeeper – and we must also remember he’s only 19.

“Since making his debut, Harvey has performed well with the gloves and continues to show improvements with the bat. His challenge now is to score runs on a consistent basis and contribute to winnings games for the county.”

Hosein added: “I’m delighted to sign a new deal and commit my future to Derbyshire. I’m now looking forward to continuing to represent the club and being part of a successful future.”
