Kieran Perman

Kieran Perman was born on a chilly February day in 1999, a fitting metaphor for the storm of talent he would unleash on the cricket field. Growing up in Birmingham, Kieran's journey began in the local parks, where he would mimic the greats, cricket bat in hand, swatting away imaginary deliveries. This passion soon translated into an undeniable prowess as he climbed the rungs of junior league cricket, catching the discerning eyes of regional scouts.

Making his professional debut in 2017 for Warwickshire, Kieran wasted no time introducing himself as an allrounder to be reckoned with. His right-handed bat and right-arm fast-medium bowling provided a dual threat that added depth to both the batting line-up and the bowling attack. Early on, his career seemed sprinkled with magical moments, like the time he dismantled a formidable Yorkshire side with both bat and ball in a County Championship match, notching up his maiden first-class century and picking up 5 wickets in a second-innings blitz.

Achievements have followed Kieran like shadows cast by the afternoon sun. In 2019, he was instrumental in leading Warwickshire to the T20 Blast title, with his all-round performances consistently punching above their weight. Few will forget his face-off in the final against Lancashire, where his whirlwind 40 not out under pressure, decisively swung the match in Warwickshire's favour. Rivalries too have only fuelled his competitive edge, particularly against Nottinghamshire, where games often transformed into personal battles of will and skill, laying bare the gritty, combative side of Kieran's character.

His batting style, bold and assertive, often dances on the fine line between aggression and calculated strategy, dispatching bowlers with cheeky innovative shots. On the bowling front, his knack for producing seam movement and utilising deceptive pace changes has undone even the deftest of batters.

The 2022 season saw him hit another career zenith, achieving the rare double of 500 runs and 50 wickets in the County Championship, a testament to his undying dedication and flair for making an impact. But beyond numbers, it’s Kieran’s never-give-up attitude that truly defines him, weaving into the very fabric of every game he plays.

Kieran's tale is messy and beautifully human, a tale of grit, talent, and the sheer love for the game, a true testament to what makes cricket such a glorious obsession.
