Michael Porter is a highly experienced batter from Bournemouth, England.
With a strong leadership background and a reputation as an outstanding fielder, the Southerner currently turns out for Bashley Rydal Cricket Club in the ECB Southern Premier League.
Porter is a product of the Hampshire Cricket Club pathway, captaining the County’s U17 side to a National Final and leading the Hampshire Academy in the Southern Premier Cricket League.
His performances saw him earn a place in Hampshire’s Senior 2nd XI, where he regularly played with and against international cricketers. Back in 2014, Michael made his senior List A debut for Hampshire, playing against Sri Lanka A in a fixture that was abandoned due to rain.
Beyond County Cricket, Porter has been a key figure in Minor Counties Cricket for a number of years. Representing Dorset from 2012 to 2019 across all formats, Porter has also taken up 12th man duties for England during a Test Match against India at the Rose Bowl back in 2014.
At Club level, Porter has been a mainstay at Bashley (Rydal) CC for over nine years, currently serving as 1st XI captain. Racking up 188 matches, the 29-year-old has also amassed 5,078 league runs at an average of 33.41, including 29 half-centuries and six centuries. His leadership has been instrumental in the club’s sustained success.
Alongside his playing career, Porter has spent over six years working within the cricket industry. He served as the UK Cricket Category Manager for Adidas, overseeing product development and market strategies for one of the world’s leading cricket brands. He also played a pivotal role as Sales Director for a start-up company, contributing to its early growth and expansion within the cricket market. His experience in both elite-level cricket and the business side of the sport gives him a unique perspective on the game.
Now seeking a season in Australia, Porter is eager to contribute both on and off the field, bringing his extensive experience, leadership, and adaptability to a new club environment. Alongside playing, he is also keen to get involved in umpiring during his time away from matches.
