Born on March 1, 1990, in Swindon, Wiltshire, England, Dawson has had a remarkable career, representing both Hampshire County Cricket Club and the England national cricket team.
Dawson's cricketing journey began at a young age, and he quickly made a name for himself by displaying his immense talent.
He captained the England Under-19 team and showcased his potential as a top-order batsman who could also contribute with his left-arm spin bowling.

His exceptional performance in domestic cricket and limited-overs internationals led to his Test debut in Chennai, where he showcased his batting abilities as well, ending the match with an unbeaten 66.
Despite experiencing setbacks in his Test career, including a challenging game at Lord's against South Africa where he made a pair, Dawson continued to excel in limited-overs cricket.
In 2018, his outstanding performances for Hampshire in T20 matches earned him a place in England's one-day tour to Sri Lanka.
The year 2019 proved to be a successful season for Dawson, as he averaged an impressive 54 runs with the bat and took 14 wickets for Hampshire in the County Championship.
His outstanding form secured his place in England's white-ball squads for tours of the West Indies, Pakistan, and Australia in 2022.
