Steve Davies Biography
A talented opening batsman with a safe pair of hands behind the stumps, Steve Davies has made a name for himself in the shorter format with a few spirited performances. The Englishman first displayed his talent in his debut season in 2005 when he averaged higher than Graeme Hick for Worcestershire.
The man from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire earned a call-up to the England ‘A’ squad in the year 2006 and that did wonders to his confidence as he went on to score 1000 first-class runs and a highest of 192 in the same season. He made his debut for the national side in 2009 courtesy a string of good performances with the bat in the Pro40 League. Davies notched up scores of 100, 59, 92, and 119. He was included in the lone T20 game during England’s 2009 tour of the West Indies and impressed straight away by top-scoring with 27 off 21. The wicket-keeper batsman made his ODI debut in the same year against Australia in the 2009 Champions Trophy. His first strong performance in the ODI format came against Pakistan where he scored 87 and earned a ‘Man of the Match’ Award.
Davies has evolved into a fine cricketer equipped for the rigours of international circuit. The selectors feel he is now ready for more and his inclusion in the 2010 Ashes squad justifies his development as a cricketer.
