Matthew Fisher

• Profile

Yorkshire’s enigmatic fast bowler made his mark early when, in 2013, he became the youngest post-war county cricketer in a 40-over match, aged just 15 years and 212 days.

Two years on, in 2015, Matt became Yorkshire's sixth-youngest Championship debutant when he faced Nottinghamshire. On his T20 Blast debut he took a five-fer against Derbyshire – the only Yorkshire bowler to do so.

Whilst his list of eye-catching accolades may have halted in recent years, the 27-year-old, now 12 years into a life as a professional, has carved out an impressive career to date.

Injuries have made consistent gametime hard to come by, but his 144 First-Class wickets at an average of 26.5 speak to a bowling talent that continues to flourish.

Long on England’s radar, Matt made his solitary Test appearance against West Indies in March 2022, a feat that was enthusiastically celebrated by his family who had placed a £100 bet that he would day represent his country when he was only 14, ad odds of 50-1.

Fisher’s final outings for Yorkshire saw him take 18 wickets in three matches to help secure promotion for the White Rose before he joins Surrey from next summer.
