Sonny Baker

Sonny Baker is an English cricketer born on March 13, 2003, in Torbay, Devon. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler known for his pace, skill, and ability to generate swing and bounce, as well as a handy right-handed batsman. Baker emerged as one of England’s most promising fast-bowling talents after progressing through the England Under-19 system, with notable performances in domestic cricket for Somerset County Cricket Club, where he made his List A debut in 2021.

Baker’s rise has featured impressive showings in T20 competitions such as The Hundred, playing for teams like Trent Rockets and Manchester Originals. In 2025, he gained widespread attention for taking a hat-trick in The Hundred, becoming only the fourth bowler to achieve this feat in the tournament. Despite setbacks including a back injury that kept him out of the 2022 ICC Under-19 World Cup, Baker rebounded strongly, earning an England development contract in 2025 and inclusion in the England Lions squad.

Known for his raw pace with frequent deliveries around 87 mph and his ability to reverse swing the ball, Baker has quickly gained recognition as a fast bowler with the potential to become a key part of England’s bowling attack. His journey reflects hard work, resilience, and consistent excellence in domestic and franchise cricket, marking him as a promising prospect for the future of English cricket.
