Patrick Brown

Spotted in a bowling trial for pace bowlers who had been missed by various counties, the lanky Brown with his athletic action, was seen as a potential star of the future by six counties who offered him a contract. But it was Worcestershire who eventually snapped up the youngster during the 2017 season by offering him a cricket scholarship at the University of Worcester.

Brown worked his way through the second eleven before finally making his much awaited first-class debut against Sussex in August, 2017. Still very raw, Brown has had modest returns in his fledgling career, but has been promoted as the lead pacer in List A cricket after skipper Joe Leach's injury.
