Prompt Profile
David Willey is a wily left-handed bowler who can also bat, so it’s no wonder that he’s been a constant presence in England’s One-Day plans since their disastrous showing at the 2015 World Cup. Willey, who hails from Northampton, moved to Leeds in 2015 to pursue his tremendous skill, representing Yorkshire in all three formats of the game.
David Willey, the son of former England all-rounder turned umpire Peter Willey, made his debut for Northampton-shire in 2009. He began his career as a lower-order batsman who could swing the new ball, making his debut in 2009. He was consistent with both the bat and the ball, but his career didn’t take off until 2012. He took 43 wickets for Northampton-shire and was a key player in the team’s victory in the Friends Life T20 competition.

After a great season, David Willey was promoted to the England Lions, but a stress fracture forced him to drop out of contention for a spot in England’s World Cup squad in Australia and New Zealand in 2015. Nonetheless, in 2014, he made a full comeback for his home county. The call-up had been long delayed, and he was handsomely rewarded for his domestic form as he made his ODI debut against Ireland in May of 2015.
David Willey then went on to have a fantastic season in the Nat-west T20 Blast, scoring a century against Sussex, including 34 from a Michael Yardy over. Northampton-shire reached the final, where they were defeated by Lancashire. It was followed by a fantastic T20 WC 2016 in India, where Willey’s outstanding bowling helped England win their second T20 WC title.
Willey’s form has plummeted since then, particularly in ODIs, and 2017 has been something of a dry spell for him in international cricket. He has not been a regular component of the ODI setup since 2018, due to injuries and a coincidental lack of form. Willey has yet to display his power hitting ability for England, while continuing to flourish in county cricket and T20 competitions.
