Sam Openshaw is a top-order batter based in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Currently First XI Captain of Walshaw Cricket Club in the Greater Manchester Premier League, Sam has enjoyed two highly productive seasons since taking charge. Across the 2024 and 2025 campaigns, he accumulated nearly 1,000 runs, including a highest score of *104 (not out)**, underlining his ability to anchor and lead from the front. In addition to his batting, Sam offers a useful off-spin option, adding depth and balance to a side’s bowling attack.

A proud Lancastrian, Sam is known for his energy, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the game. He is a positive and engaging presence around the club, setting high standards for both himself and his teammates. Passionate about youth development, he strongly believes in creating opportunities for young players and fostering an environment where the next generation can thrive.

Looking to broaden his horizons, Sam is targeting a move to Melbourne or Brisbane for the 2026/27 season, where he aims to embrace a new challenge and contribute both on and off the field. With proven leadership experience and consistent top-order performances, he would be a valuable addition to any club seeking experience, character, and run-scoring quality.

Sam will be travelling alongside his teammate and close friend, Thomas Law, and they are keen to be based at the same club. Both are open to securing their own accommodation for the right opportunity.
