Leading from the front

Appointed club captain this winter, Will heads towards the 2020 season as one of the youngest players ever to lead the Bears, but it is a challenge which does not daunt the impressive 25-year-old in the slightest – indeed, he is very excited by it.

Having switched from Yorkshire in search of greater first-team opportunities, he slotted brilliantly into the Bears team in his first season in 2018.

“It’s an exciting time for everyone at this club and we have a great opportunity to grow together and develop a brand of cricket that entertains and brings more of the success that our Members and supporters have experienced in the last 10 years.”

Captain

He become an immediate linchpin of the side and formed a rock-solid opening alliance with Dom Sibley, a partnership which the pair continued just as impressively in 2019.

Able to score quickly, Will is a versatile batsman, but patience and technique are the hallmarks of his work – he is a man who simply hates getting out. He also contributes valuably with accurate medium-pace bowling.

“I am absolutely thrilled to have been appointed captain,” Rhodes said. “It is an honour to captain any team but extra special when it is a big club like Warwickshire.
