TomLawes

Player Bio

Surrey through and through, Lawes is the complete all-rounder and a dynamic fielder on a rookie contract until the end of 2022.

Lawes, also 18, is a powerful middle order batter, a skilful fast-medium bowler and considered one of the most athletic fielders in the academy. The all-rounder attended Cranleigh School and plays Surrey Championship cricket for Cranleigh CC.

Injury issues prevented him from featuring for much of this year’s U18 match programme but he did make seven appearances for Surrey’s 2nd XI in the early period of the season.

2022 was his breakthrough season. First Class, T20 and List A debuts came with incredible success for Tom Lawes. He took 4/51 in his first innings of Championship cricket against Kent in June. He finished the 2022 Championship season with 18 wickets and a winners medal around his neck. The Royal London Cup saw Lawes assume the responsibility of opening the bowling and batting in the middle order. He scored 318 runs at an average of 53.00 whilst taking 8 wickets with the ball.
