Durham loans Mark Davies to Nottinghamshire

Durham have loaned medium-pacer Mark Davies to Nottinghamshire for one month. Davies will make his Notts debut in the Pro40 match against Essex on Wednesday.

Davies played six County Championship matches this season and has taken 16 wickets. "I'm looking forward to getting involved in Nottinghamshire's campaigns, both in one-day and Championship cricket," Davies told Sportinglife.co.uk. "It will be good to get some more competitive one-day games under my belt, especially if Durham need me later on in the season."

Notts were hit by injuries to several of their bowlers and had already loaned Nadeem Malik, from Worcestershire, and Kyle Hogg from Lancashire this season.

Durham chief executive David Harker said: "We appreciate that Mark is keen to play competitive first-team cricket in both forms of the game and due to the current strength of our bowling attack Mark's appearances have been limited to Championship matches. We are able to recall Mark at any time should we need him, so this gives him a great opportunity to play at first-team level."
