He has hit seven centuries for the County, with a highest score of 185 not out, and took over as captain of the LV= Insurance County Championship team from Adam Rossington at the beginning of this summer.

“We’re delighted that Ricardo has decided to commit to Northamptonshire.” said cricket committee board member Nigel Felton.

“We think this sends a strong signal to our players and supporters and reinforces our intent to continue to compete as a club.”

The news of Vasconcelos committing to life at the County Ground comes hot on the heels on the news of England all-rounder David Willey rejoining the club from Yorkshire.

Willey returns to Northants n October, and has signed a four-year deal with the club.

Seam bowler Jack White this week also put pen to paper on a new two-year deal.
