Warwickshire wicketkeeper Kai Smith has signed a new contract with the club until the end of the 2027 season.
The 20-year-old academy graduate made his first-team debut as a batter in the One-Day Cup as a 17-year-old in 2022, and signed a two-year rookie deal ahead of last season.
He struck his maiden century – 130 off 104 balls – against Worcestershire to win a One-Day Cup quarter-final in August 2024 and currently averages 35 in List A matches.
Following the retirement of Michael Burgess at the end of last summer, Smith took over the wicketkeeping duties and is currently in his debut season of first-class cricket.
In eight County Championship matches this season, Smith has scored 251 runs, including two half-centuries, and taken 22 catches with one stumping.
