Zac Wilson was born on the 1st of January, 2000, emerging into an era when cricket was experiencing its own transformation. Growing up in a leafy suburb of Birmingham, Wilson's flair for cricket was evident almost as soon as he could hold a bat. Encouraged by his cricket-enthusiast father, Wilson spent countless hours apprenticing in the garden, mimicking his heroes and honing a dazzling array of strokes that would later become his signature in domestic and international cricket.
