2026 Professional News

We’re delighted to announce the signing of USA Under-19 captain Utkarsh Srivastava as our Professional for the 2026 North West Cricket League season 🏏

Utkarsh recently led the USA at the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia, scoring a superb 52 in the USA’s landmark victory over Scotland, securing their first Under-19 World Cup victory in 16 years

A right-handed top-order batter and right-arm off-spinner, Utkarsh is widely regarded as one of the USA’s brightest talents. In 2024, aged just 17, he made his full international ODI and T20 debuts for the USA announcing himself on the big stage with an impressive 67 from 63 balls on his ODI debut that also came against Scotland

As our first-ever signing from the USA and an Associate nation, we’re proud to welcome Utkarsh to The Applegarth in April and look forward to what promises to be an exciting and successful season

A huge thank you to Rob at WSX Cricket for his assistance in completing the signing

Welcome to Earby Cricket Club, Utkarsh!
