More power in the mix
The recruitment of aggressive batter/wicketkeeper Alex Davies from Lancashire during the winter was a real statement of squad-building intent from the Bears.
Incumbent keeper Michael Burgess had a superb 2021 season, but now faces competition from 27-year-old Darwen-born Alex. The new signing arrived at Edgbaston with plenty of experience from 231 senior games across in the formats, in all of which his stats are impressive.
“This is a huge signing for the County and it shows the level of progress that our team is making. Alex has firmly established himself as one of the best players in the domestic game and he knows what it takes to win.”
