Krikken: Named Derbyshire head coachDerbyshire have claimed they will make a "landmark new signing" for next season.
The announcement was one of a series of initiatives aimed at driving the club forward after a meeting of the general committee Wednesday night.
Derbyshire also confirmed the permanent appointment of Karl Krikken as head coach following John Morris' departure, while the club will commit to fielding at least nine England-qualified players from 2013.
Chairman Chris Grant said: "Clearly this meeting of the general committee was vitally important for the future of the club and I'm delighted with the strategy that has been adopted.
"Of course the possibility of a big name signing is what will create all the headlines and it is no coincidence that two of the most successful periods in Derbyshire's history came when Eddie Barlow and later Dean Jones were at the club.
"Players of that ilk are doubly valuable because they bring quality in their individual performance but also bring a massive amount of experience, knowledge and expertise to the rest of the group.
"But I believe a sustainable pathway for our talented young cricketers - together with the introduction of a specialist coaching fund - is equally exciting.
"The benefits of progressing to nine English qualified cricketers by 2013 are financial as well as cricket related."
