Tommy Ealham has received his first professional contract with the Surrey, and joins Amar Virdi in signing a new deal with the Club.
Ealham made his debut for Surrey during the 2023 Metro Bank One Day Cup, playing in the fixtures against Hampshire and Essex. The young off-spinner plays for Cranleigh CC having attended Cranleigh School and joined the Surrey Pathway Programme at the U17 age group. Tommy is the son of Kent, Notts and England all-rounder Mark Ealham.
25 year-old Virdi is a Surrey Academy product and made his first team debut in 2017; the off-spinner has played 51 games for the Three Feathers, taking over 120 wickets.
Alec Stewart, Director of Cricket, said “Tommy has made good progress over the last few years and has shown enough potential to earn his first professional contract. I look forward to seeing him develop his all-round skills in the coming years. I am pleased Amar has signed a new contract as I hope he can challenge for first team selection through consistent performances.”
