10 greatest cricketers from Somerset

#4 Craig Kieswetter

Craig Kieswetter

Craig Kieswetter was one of England’s brightest prospect in international cricket. Along with tremendous wicket-keeping skills, the Somerset cricketer was also outstanding with the bat in hand. He was also a part of the England squad that won the ICC World T20 in West Indies.

In a career that spanned from 2007 to 2014, he played 115 first-class, 134 List A and 134 T20 games. Though his average can’t be regarded amongst the best in the business, he scored runs briskly enough to ruffle the opposition.

However, the curtains came down on his career following a nose injury, which he suffered in a county game against Northamptonshire. After the incident, he complained of impaired vision and soon after he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
