In 2011, Saxelby took an impressive 49 County Championship wickets, which earned him a 3-year contract.[1] On 16 August 2012, Saxelby was ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury.[2] Coach, John Bracewell was concerned that by October, Saxelby was not making good progress.
