Nottinghamshire batsman Greg Smith has joined Leicestershire on a two match LV= County Championship loan.
The 26-year-old, who has played nine first-team matches for Notts so far this season, will feature for the Foxes against Kent starting on Sunday, followed by a four-day fixture against Gloucestershire.
Smith previously played for Leicestershire before joining Notts in October 2014.
And Notts director of cricket Mick Newell believes it will be a good move for the right-hander.
He said: “Greg hasn’t featured in our four-day side recently and first-team cricket will be much better preparation for when we do need him.
“He’s put in some good one-day performances in the first and second team, and we’re keen for him to be in good nick in all forms of the game for us.”
Smith, who scored 138 off 132 balls in the recent second XI 50-over fixture against Derbyshire, remains available for the Outlaws in limited-overs cricket.
