Chris Robinson

Chris Robinson emerged from the leafy suburbs of Manchester, where he first picked up a cricket bat in the local park, emulating the stars he admired on TV. Born on 8th February 1999, Chris's cricketing journey took shape as he joined the junior club at Manchester Cricket Academy. His potential was evident early on as he excelled both with the willow and leather, showcasing a natural affinity for the game that soon saw him captaining his school side to regional victories.

Chris's breakthrough onto the professional scene came at a tender age of 18 when he was called to debut for Lancashire in the County Championship. His all-round potential quickly turned into performance, with crisp, aggressive batting and a knack for swinging the ball. His batting style, characterized by a fearless approach and adaptability to situations, caught the eyes of selectors. Equally effective with the ball, Chris developed a versatile bowling knack, capable of seam movement and spin, depending on the pitch demands—a skill set that makes him a captain's delight.

One of his crowning achievements was his integral role in Lancashire's triumphant T20 Blast campaign in 2022, where his all-round performances—most notably in a nail-biting final against Surrey—etched his name in the club's history. His gut-wrenching 48 off 30 balls followed by a match-defining spell with the ball, where he took crucial wickets at a pivotal moment, underscored his match-winning capabilities.

Throughout his career, Robinson has had several memorable performances, but his duels against rivals Yorkshire in the Roses matches have become almost legendary. It was against them that he recorded his first five-wicket haul, and many of his most explosive innings have come during these intensely competitive matches.

Chris Robinson's impact on the game extends beyond statistics; he plays with a passion and flair that inspires teammates and excites crowds. He has become known for his ice-cool composure under pressure—a trait that served him well during a challenging ODI debut against Australia, where his late over heroics earned England an unexpected victory.

Robinson continues to develop his game, striving for consistency and aiming for the ultimate dream of representing England at the highest level. With his talent and determination, who knows how far he might go?
