He played for Nottinghamshire throughout his entire career, although he did have a spells during the English winter playing for Canterbury in New Zealand and Mid West Rhinos in Zimbabwe.
Franks has only won one cap for England, in 2000 at Trent Bridge versus the West Indies cricket team, but he missed the 2001 and 2002 campaigns with a recurring knee injury. Franks has previously been the captain of the under-19s, and was the vice-captain of the team with whom he won the Under-19s World Cup in 1998.
The Nottinghamshire-born all-rounder first broke into the side as a 17-year-old in 1996.

He was played extensively for the club's Second XI, helping them win the county trophy in 2015, and will captain them after his retirement from first-class cricket, which he announced in late 2015.[1]
Paul has also played for Farnsfield CC in the Bassetlaw & District League when he not on county duty.
