The 23-year-old, who made his competitive debut in 2022, has featured for Worcestershire in all formats since his debut season. Cullen played a pivotal role in Worcestershire's One-Day Cup final victory last year, contributing crucial runs as a young cricketer. Speaking about his decision, Cullen expressed his love for playing a part within the dressing room and the satisfaction of contributing more over the past couple of years, as he feels he is improving. Worcestershire CEO Ashley Giles praised the young talent, stating that he has immense potential as a batter and wicketkeeper, and sees him playing a key role across all formats. Additionally, Worcestershire has signed Australian seam bowler Sam Greer, 24, on a two-year contract after his impressive performance in the second XI this summer.",
