Josh Smith (20) is a genuine allrounder who can win games batting, wicket keeping, or more recently in the field bowling leg spin as well. He currently plays for Wiltshire CCC 2nd XI, Wiltshire U21s, and for Chippenham CC in the West of England Premier League (WEPL Premier 1).
Josh is no stranger to winning and being a part of team’s successful campaigns. Whilst playing for Chippenham CC, he has won the WEPL Premier 2 League Title in 2019, the Wiltshire T20 Wallop Cup in 2022, and was part of the club’s highest ever finish of 5th in the WEPL Premier 1 League in 2022. WEPL Premier 1 is known as being one of the toughest ECB Premier Leagues in the country as it is the pinnacle of the WEPL Pyramid system, which spans across three counties: Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset. The league being situated between three professional county sides (Somerset, Glamorgan and Gloucestershire) also means that there is a vast array of professional players playing every week. Josh playing and developing in this environment at the age of just 20 means he is a player to take note of, and shows how highly people consider him at his current club. During his club career, he has hit 12 fifties and 5 hundreds, taken 121 fielding dismissals and 54 wickets, showing his all-round ability.
Josh has also been in the Wiltshire County setup since Under 14s and now regularly plays for the U21s and 2nd XI in all three formats (2 day, 50 over & T20). He has now played 60 games for the County, scoring over 1000 runs and taking 41 fielding dismissals to date.
It is also important to note Josh’s high-level understanding of the game. He regularly captained age group sides when growing up, but this year was also selected to captain Chippenham CC’s T20 Cup side and the club see him as being the next 1st XI captain – more evidence of how intelligent and able Josh is.
Josh has now signed for East Christchurch-Shirley CC in New Zealand for the 2023/24 Season.
