“Kyle provided an important injection when we needed it last season, bringing all his experience and qualities as an international player,” Notts head coach Peter Moores said., external

“We know conditions will be different in April, to the time he spent with us at the end of the season, though his record in Test Match cricket shows he has the ability to adapt and still be successful.”

Verreynne is currently playing for South Africa in their Test series against Sri Lanka and hit his third century for his country in the second Test.

Speaking about his return to the county, Verreynne said he “felt really comfortable playing cricket at Trent Bridge last season” and added the venue was an “awesome place to play”.

“I thought the competition was of a really good standard – when you’ve played international cricket, you still want to be tested at domestic level, so I really enjoyed adapting to English conditions,” he said.

“I know the challenge could be different next year in the early part of the summer, but I’m sure that will be beneficial to me.”

Notts begin the new season at home to Durham on 4 April.
