Yannick Leonard is a talented left-arm spinner hailing from Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean.
Holder of a British Passport, the English (Basildon, Essex) based tweaker played for his Country alongside the likes of Windies batter, Jahmar Hamilton, and Leeward Island stars, Montcin Hodge, Deon Burton, and Kelbert Walters.
The Anguillan spinner has represented his country for over a decade and, during this period has also featured for Leeward Islands in 10 domestic matches. He made his first-class debut during the 2012/13 season, then spent 3 seasons with the Leeward side taking 16 wickets at 33. Despite these numbers, Leonard hasn’t played first-class since his final outing against the Windward Islands in February 2015.
However, dominant performances for Anguilla in recent years culminated with a Leeward Islands return, playing a List A match against Barbados in November 2019.
The dual Passport holder has previous UK experience with Callington (Cornwall Premier League - 2019), and stints with Basildon and Pitsea (Mid-Essex Cricket League - 2021, 2023) either side of a gig with Chesterfield (Derbyshire Premier Cricket League - 2022).
During his opening stint, in the strong Cornwall League, he bagged 24 wickets at 20.58 to earn rave reviews. He returned in 2021 and enjoyed further success taking 43 wickets at 9.12 alongside 586 runs at 45.08 to finish top of the run charts, and second with the ball.
Over the past two seasons, he's continued to star, initially for Chesterfield (548 runs at 22.83 & 61 wickets at 12.95) before his return to Basildon last summer (696 runs at 40.94 & 34 wickets at 14.79).
The talented spin bowling all-rounder is now open to options for the UK 2024 season, albeit is currently uncertain how his availability looks this far in advance.
