Finlay Gordon is a rising star in English cricket, renowned for his stylish left-handed batting and clever right-arm off-spin. Originally part of the Dorset youth system, he progressed into the Hampshire Academy pathway, where he quickly made an impression with his natural talent and maturity beyond his years.
A fluent left-handed opener, Gordon stood out in the U16 and U18 circuits and made a seamless transition to senior club cricket before earning a place in Hampshire’s Academy. His elegant shot-making and evolving off-spin mark him as a genuine all-rounder with the ability to impact both disciplines of the game.
The 2024 season marked a breakout year for the 17-year-old. Representing the Hampshire Academy in the ECB Southern Premier League and Dorset in National Counties cricket, Gordon scored 651 league runs, including a commanding 128 against Bashley and a brisk 105 versus St Cross Symondians. With the ball, he chipped in with 18 wickets, further underlining his all-round value.
One of his career highlights came during a memorable weekend double—scoring 128 for Hampshire Academy, followed just a day later by his maiden National Counties century (123 for Dorset vs. Wales in Ebbw Vale). Across all formats in 2024, he piled up over 1,400 runs, featuring three centuries and nine half-centuries.
His outstanding performances were recognised in December 2024 when he was named both ECB Southern Premier League Young Cricketer of the Year and Dorset Young Cricketer of the Year. He also earned selection for the prestigious ECB U18 Elite Player Regional Tournament in Loughborough and featured regularly in Hampshire’s Second XI, embedding himself firmly in the county's high-performance environment.
In 2025, Gordon has reached new heights. He currently ranks No. 1 in the country at U19 level in T20s—leading in both runs scored and wickets taken. He also tops the national charts in National Counties cricket with 505 runs at an average of 84.17.
June 2025 brought a historic moment when Gordon, opening for Dorset, helped set a record 183-run opening stand in a National Counties T20 clash against Cornwall—the highest ever for Dorset and the second-highest in tournament history. In that double-header, he scored 95 (51) in the first match and followed it up with an unbeaten 101 (55), successfully chasing 183 in under 17 overs.
Looking ahead, Gordon is on track to represent England U19s against Bangladesh in September, with strong potential to make the squad for the 2025 ICC U19 World Cup. Now in his final year with the Hampshire Academy, he is pushing for a full First XI contract for the 2026 season. A dual passport holder, he is also open to representing Canada at the 2026 T20 World Cup. In the immediate future, he is eager to explore professional playing opportunities in Australia for the 2025/26 season.
