After six months of sweat, toil and motorway service stations, October is a time of calm in the life of a county cricketer. “Normally that one month a year where you can pretty much do nothing,” says Chris Wright, the 39-year-old seamer.
Wright is one of those canny bowlers who puts it on a spot game after game, season after season, turning consistency into a fine domestic career. It began at Middlesex, took in a County Championship title at Warwickshire in 2012, and recent years have been well spent at Leicestershire. Indeed, Wright helmed the attack that won the One‑Day Cup in 2023.
