Reuben Wilson

Reuben Wilson's cricketing journey began in the leafy suburbs of London, where, as a young boy, he would often be seen wielding a bat with an enthusiasm that belied his tender age. Born on 17th September 2006, Reuben's prodigious talent was evident early on, as he effortlessly combined academia with his burgeoning cricketing endeavours. By the time he was 11, he was turning heads with his right-arm fast-medium bowling and astute right-handed batting, traits that would soon become his calling card.

His early ventures into club cricket saw him dominate local leagues, quickly catching the eye of county scouts. At just 14, Reuben made his debut for the Middlesex youth team, where his all-round capabilities shone brightly. This was a springboard that propelled him towards the national circuits, eventually leading to his professional debut in the County Championship at 17—a dream realised for any young player.

Reuben’s career has been punctuated by many significant achievements. A standout performance was his instrumental role in Middlesex clinching the Championship title in 2025, turning the tide of the final with a deftly crafted half-century and a crucial five-wicket haul. This dual threat has made him a valuable asset in T20 leagues across the world, where he has contributed to several teams with his ability to deliver under pressure.

Rivalries, too, have peppered Wilson's career, none more intense than the ongoing tussles against Surrey. Known for his spirited duels against their top-order bats, Reuben’s deliveries often extract just enough movement to keep them on their toes, culminating in several unforgettable dismissals that have had the crowds roaring with approval.

Wilson’s playing style is distinctive. As a batsman, his technique is textbook, coupled with an aggressive intent that allows him to adapt to situations swiftly. He drives with authority and pulls with confidence, making him a versatile player in any format. His bowling, characterised by a rhythmic run-up and the ability to swing the ball both ways, makes him a constant threat, especially under overcast English skies.

Among the many moments that underline Reuben’s impact on the game, perhaps most memorable is his performance at Lord’s in 2024, where he became the youngest player to score a century and take a five-for in the same match. This feat not only cemented his place among cricket’s elite but also highlighted a career marked by promise, skill, and a passion that only seems to grow with each year.
