England fast bowler Stuart Broad has signed a new three-year contract with Nottinghamshire.
Broad, 30, joined Nottinghamshire from Leicestershire in 2008, and has become a vital member of the England attack, his 368 Test wickets putting him third on the all-time England list.
His England commitments have meant that in his eight years with them Broad has made just 22 first class appearances for the county.
Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell said: "Whatever happens in the next few years, Stuart will go down as one of England's great fast bowlers.
"He has performed well in all kinds of different conditions over a long period of time.
"He also has the ability to sense the big moments and put in match-winning performances under pressure.
"When he comes back to Notts, he shows the same intensity in how he practices and prepares as he does for England.
Notts may see more of him in 2017 - they have nine Specsavers County Championship matches, and the entirety of the 2017 Royal London One-Day Cup, before England's next action in the Test arena against South Africa in July.
