Tom Keast

Tom played a pivotal role in helping Lincolnshire to the Eastern Division title this year. The classy wicket keeper batter and former Notts Academy player has gained experience with Nottinghamshire 2nd XI and comes into the squad with plenty to offer the side over championship week.

Tom Dinnis

Cornwall’s opening bowler Tom Dinnis adds another seam bowling option to Dan Lincoln’s attack and hard hitting lower order runs. His 20 wickets at an economy of 6.95 in his NCCA T20 career shows the skill level and variety he will be bringing to his first ECC run out.

Tom Bevan

Tom has had a sensational summer with Glamorgan including six 2nd XI hundreds that led him on to make his Glamorgan white ball and red ball debuts. His 134 against Hampshire in the Royal London Cup was more than impressive, whist his 132 off 69 balls in the 2nd XI T20 finals day was equally destructive to help lead his side to the title. A product of the exceptional Wales National Counties set up he’ll be looking forward to adding to last years stats in this years defence (266 runs, 253 SR, 27 sixes).

Sam Pearce

Wales National Counties captain will add experience and seniority to this years squad. The leg spinner was last years top wicket taker (23 wickets, 11.37 Econ) and will bring experiences of Royal London and Blast cricket with Glamorgan to the squad.

Mungo Russell

Berkshire’s opening bowler played a significant role in the counties NCCA trophy success this summer. A versatile white ball bowler, he was entrusted with many of the difficult overs and delivered. Man of the match winner in the 2018 and 2019 championship final, Mungo will be making his first appearance at this years ECC. He made 9 first class appearances with Durham MCCU during his time at the university.

Harrison Ward

Last years top run scorer returns (595, 264 SR, 64 sixes). Harrison became a regular in white ball cricket for Sussex this summer - in The Blast and The Royal London, and played a significant role throughout the tournament in Oxfordshire lifting the NCCA T20 title early in the summer. A former England U19 international.

Jafar Chohan

Jafer was an ever present in Berkshire’s triumphant trophy campaign this summer. The leg spinner possesses outstanding variations and turned a number of the games for his captain in that competition. The former Middlesex Academy player also contributed useful lower order runs with some clean ball striking. This will be Jafer’s first ECC outing.

Elliot Callis

Buckinghamshire’s Elliot Callis enjoyed a good white ball season with the county this year scoring 272 runs at 40.72 at a strike rate of 140.32. The former Yorkshire and Lords Groundstaff YC comes to Spain with a hard hitting reputation and will compliment the likes of Lincoln, Ward, Bevan and Claydon at the top of the order. This will be Eliot’s first ECC outing.

Dan Lincoln

Last years winning captain returns to defend the title with his squad, off the back of a double winning season as captain of Berkshire. With Blast experience with Middlesex and first class experience with Kent, the hard hitting batter and wicket keeper will be looking to add to his 594 runs at a strike rate of 225 with 54 sixes in 2021.

Ben Claydon

The hard hitting Suffolk batsman played some scintillating white ball innings in NCCA cricket this year, scoring two hundreds in under 60 balls across the T20 and 50 over formats. He will add much needed power to the batting line up as he makes his first appearance in the competition this year.

Arthur Godsal

Arthur enjoyed an excellent tournament last year picking up 19 wickets at an economy of 10.96. A skilful white ball bowler, the Wiltshire seamer brings good variety to the attack and excellent sporting pedigree having come through professional sporting academies with Middlesex and also from the footballing world Brentford FC. An outstanding fielder Arthur has many strings to his bow. Another former England U19 cricketer.

Andy Rishton

One of last years tournament leading all rounders Andy returns this year offering outstanding ball striking, electric fielding and clever death skills. 12 wickets at an economy of 8.91 and 197 runs at a strike rate of 189.42 outlays his talents for this tournament. He was a mainstay in Berkshire’s double winning season this summer.

Alex Russell

Herefordshire’s leg spinner Alex Russell had a break through year with Northamptonshire having signed his first professional contract with the club at the start of the summer. He went on to make regular appearances in The Blast and the Royal London cup. In last years tournament he took 19 wickets at an astonishing economy rate of just 8.91.
