Name Liam Livingstone Born August 04, 1993 Barrow-in-Furness, Cumberland Age 29 years 315 days Teams Lancashire, England Lions, North, England, Rajasthan Royals, Karachi Kings, Cape Town Blitz, Perth Scorchers, Peshawar Zalmi, Team Moeen, Team Morgan, Birmingham Phoenix, Team Abu Dhabi, Punjab Kings, Melbourne Renegades, MI Cape Town Nickname Livingstone Bat Style Right Handed Bat Bowl Style Right-arm legbreak Liam Livingstone is a right-handed aggressive batsman from England, who is more than handy with his arm and a livewire in the field. Liam made his first-class debut for Lancashire in April 2016 and played a fantastic knock of 70 against Nottinghamshire. As a result of Livingstone's contribution in that match, Lancashire managed to topple the 300-run mark against Nottinghamshire and managed to win that first-class encounter by 8 wickets at Manchester. Livingstone is someone who has the ability to hit big sixes and he has played franchise cricket over the past few years. His international debut came against South Africa in 2017 at home. Batting in the middle order, Liam's contributions in that T20I series were 16 & 0 respectively after which the youngster failed to make it to the England squad. It took until 2021 for Livingstone to stage a comeback to the national setup, as he got a break thanks to an injury to Joe Denly. He made his debut in 2021 in an ODI series against India, averaging 63 across that series. It was a few months later that year in a series against Pa...

Livingstone, picked on this tour for his capabilities as a spinner along with his ball-striking which has made him a go-to signing on the Twenty20 circuit, last played a competitive red-ball match at the end of the 2021 summer for Lancashire. Both of his first-class averages are in the high 30s: 38.36 with the bat and 36.13 with the ball. His selection in the XI is ultimately for his potential, bombastic upside. As head coach Brendon McCullum put it on Monday: "He bowls offspin, legspin, fields well and smacks the ball out of the park - it's hard not to get around a player who plays like that." Ultimately, the call was between him and Surrey's batting allrounder "The only real discussion we thought was worth having was whether we go with Jacksy or Livi," Stokes said. "I think given the place where Livi's going to play and as that third spinner role, it's quite nice to have someone who turns it both ways. And quite nice the way he applies himself with the bat - very similar to Jacksy, but having that legspin and offspin possibility with Livi was a big plus for us." "With Livi he's one of those cricketers who can come on from anywhere and take a wicket when the ball's flowing a bit the opposition's way. I've already spoken to Rooty as well. I'm going to try to use him quite a lot. I think he underuses himself. He's actually got some very good assets as an offspin bowler. He's been working very hard on his bowling." The presentation of a maiden Test cap this week will round o...
