Bio

Jake Ball joined Somerset on an initial two-year contract after 15 years with Nottinghamshire.

The former England international, whose contract has an option for a third year, has represented his country on 24 occasions across the formats, taking 26 wickets. He has taken over 200 First Class wickets at an average of 29.38 with a best of 6 for 49.

His white-ball record is equally impressive. He has more than 150 T20 wickets at 22.33 with a best of four for 11, and 118 List A wickets at 33.76 with a best of five for 51.

As a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he contributed significantly across all formats in 2024. In the County Championship, Ball’s experience bolstered Somerset’s pace attack, complementing bowlers like Craig Overton and Josh Davey.

Ball also took the tough role of bowling in the powerplay and at the death in the Vitality Blast.
