Rob Wilks-McLeod is an up and coming Right Arm Fast bowler that has a bright future ahead of him. He currently plays his club cricket for Chippenham CC in the Wiltshire County League Division 1, and has had a breakthrough 2023 season, earning selection for Wiltshire CCC U18s and Gloucestershire CCC U18s.
Standing at 6ft 3in tall and having the ability to bowl very fast from a good height, means Rob is effective with the new ball and at the death of an innings. He is strong and maintains a high level of physical fitness through his love of the gym and running.
Rob’s cricket has developed at an unusually fast rate since only taking a proper interest in the sport in 2019. In 2022 he played a key part in Chippenham CC’s winning campaign of the Wiltshire T20 Wallop Cup and finished top wicket-taker for the club’s 2nd XI. Rob has since played a handful of 1st XI games and arguably should have played more, however he is competing with current contracted professional seam bowlers who play in the club’s 1st XI. During the 2022 season Rob finished with a total of 41 wickets at an average of 26.22 and has continued to impress this year with 19 wickets at an average of 24.95; an impressive total to date especially when considering the poor weather that has occurred across England this summer.
His successes in club cricket last year led him to be selected to train with the Wiltshire CCC 1st team squad in their winter programme, and to his regular selection for Wiltshire CCC U18s this year. In a fixture against Gloucestershire CCC, he recorded figures of 8.2 overs 2 for 42 and Gloucestershire CCC coaches were so impressed with his performance and potential, that they approached Rob about representing Gloucestershire CCC U18s. The following week, Rob recorded figures of 9 overs 2 maidens 1 for 39 along with 1 catch on debut for Gloucestershire U18s vs Somerset U18s in a 2 day game.
Rob has now signed for East Christchurch-Shirley CC in New Zealand for the 2023/24 Season.
