Biography

A skilful seaming all-rounder, Lewis Gregory has been a stellar figure in the Somerset line-up over the years. As a pacer, he’s capable of moving the ball both ways and can be particularly deadly on pitches that offer some movement. With the bat, Gregory is fully capable of batting as high as six or seven in the order, given his penchant to occupy the crease and unleash big shots at will. It’s the power game that has enhanced his reputation as a quality all-rounder. Of course, he isn’t quick enough to trouble batsmen on flatter surfaces but has the control to keep things tight and as mentioned above, is well- equipped to capitalize on conditions that have an iota of movement in them. By gaining a yard of pace, Gregory could be a much more effective resource. Given England’s tendency to look for multi-dimensional players, it was only a matter of time before Gregory got the nod and he was picked for the bilateral T20Is in New Zealand in late 2019. In domestic cricket, he continues to make rapid strides and leadership is another enviable quality that he has, as proven by his stints at Somerset. Having started out as a teenager in County cricket, Gregory did take his time to evolve but has now cemented his position as one of the stars in England’s domestic circuit.
