Calm head, high skills

Spin-bowling all-rounder Danny was a standout contributor to the Bears’ championship title triumph in 2021 with ball, bat and as a calming, steady, dressing-room influence when the pressure was at its greatest.

He joined the Bears from Sussex in November 2020 with a track of record of top-level success. The slow left-armer played eight times for England in white ball cricket and had already taken more than 500 wickets across all formats, but the Bears suspected his best years were still to come.

“I’m very excited to commit long-term to the Bears and hopefully we can consistently challenge for trophies. My family and I are looking forward to making this our home for the foreseeable future.”

They were spot on. His accurate, intelligent bowling throughout 2021 was pivotal to several vital championship victories and his lower-order runs arrived at key times to turn the flow of several matches.

More than any other type of cricketer, spinners just get better and better – Briggs – the leading wicket-take in the history of the Vitality Blast T20 competition – may still have his best years ahead of him.

Briggs signed a contract extension in 2021 to keep him at the Bears until the end of the 2024 season.
