Ben Smith (24), a top order batter from Hertfordshire, England.

A dedicated and ever-improving player, Ben has continued to develop his game year after year. The 2024 season was his best to date, excelling for Southampton University as he claimed the Mansford Shield for most runs. He amassed 664 runs at an impressive average of 39.06, striking at 145.45. In addition to his batting prowess, Ben contributed with the ball, taking 15 wickets at an average of 12.40 and also took the gloves for his team when required.

As a coach, Ben has played a key role in the successful West Herts youth system, mentoring teams that have gone on to win county championships and instilling a love for the game in young cricketers. His leadership extends beyond playing, as he has been elected Head of Performance for the 2024/25 season at the University of Southampton. In this role, he oversees training sessions, provides coaching, and is entrusted with team selections.

With his final year at university approaching, Ben is seeking a competitive, sociable, and consistent environment where he can fully immerse himself in club life, contributing both on and off the field.

An excellent signing for any club looking for a passionate and committed cricketer who brings both playing and coaching expertise to their squad.
