Xavier Wildsmith is a young, quick seam-bowling all-rounder from Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.
A product of both the Leicestershire County Cricket Club and Lincolnshire County Cricket Club pathway systems, Xavier has been a standout performer at age-group level for several years. His pace and wicket-taking ability have consistently caught the attention of selectors across both counties.
The 2025 season proved to be a breakthrough campaign. Representing Ketton Sports Cricket Club First XI, he claimed 25 wickets at an outstanding average of 12.76, finishing with 51 wickets across all competitions. His performances attracted interest from several ECB Premier League clubs ahead of the upcoming season.
Remarkably, Wildsmith has been playing senior First XI cricket since the age of 12 and has already accumulated 82 senior wickets at an average of 16.20, underlining his credentials as a genuine wicket-taker. With the bat, Xavier is a versatile contributor, capable of adding valuable runs in a range of match situations and shifting gears when required.
Ahead of the 2026 season, Xavier made the bold decision to turn down a Leicestershire CCC Academy place in order to pursue consistent First XI cricket with Lincolnshire CCC in their NCCA campaign, a clear statement of his ambition.
Now eager to broaden his horizons, Xavier is targeting a season in the Southern Hemisphere to continue accelerating his development and push towards higher honours.
An exciting prospect with genuine pace and proven performance, Xavier would be a great addition for any club seeking a quality quick for the 2026/27 season.
