Barney commits to the Bears

Warwickshire Vice Captain Ed Barnard committed his future to the Club ahead of the 2025 season by agreeing a new long-term contract.

Barnard signed a two-year extension until the end of the 2027 campaign, with an option for an additional third year.

The 29-year-old allrounder has impressed since making the Midlands move from neighbours Worcestershire ahead of the 2023 season.

By the end of 2024, he’d racked up 1,322 runs (ave 35.72) for Warwickshire in the County Championship – taking him past 5,000 career red ball runs – and claimed 54 wickets, including two five-fers.

“I’m really pleased with how the last two years have gone. It’s a great group of lads, very competitive, they play the game in the right way but get on well off the pitch.”

All Rounder

But it’s in the Metro Bank One Day Cup that Barnard has shone. He’s been named the competition’s Player of the Year in both of the last two seasons after dominating the Most Valuable Player charts with bat and ball.

He was the joint leading wicket taker in 2024 with 19 (15.68 ave) and among the top run scorers with 433 and an average of 61.85.

Barnard has made 15 appearances for Bears in the Vitality Blast, scoring 150 runs, and he’s hoping to cement a place in the T20 side in 2025.

Born in Shrewsbury, Ed developed through the Worcestershire Academy and went on to harvest 4,890 runs and 370 wickets for the Pears. In 2022, he was the county’s leading first-class run scorer with 895 runs at an average of 60.
