Worcestershire starlet Henry Cullen is looking to maximise his sustained run in the Metro Bank One Day Cup side, as his Rapids side entertain Hampshire in their third group game
After featuring towards the back end of the Vitality T20 Blast campaign, Cullen is enjoying his role as the first choice keeper-batter in the 50-over competition, impacting games with both the bat and the gloves.
The 22-year-old started the List A season in style, blitzing 38 not-out from just 12 balls against Herefordshire in the warm-up clash, before scoring a quick fire 27 against Notts in the enthralling last-ball tie.
With an opportunity to show his skills on the main stage at Visit Worcestershire New Road, the academy graduate is eager to keep up his good form against Hampshire.
“I have been around the group for a while now, but the lads have made the transition so easy for me that all I have had to do is focus on my game and ensure I am doing the best I can whenever I go out to bat or take the gloves.
“The first two games have been full of positives for us as a group, obviously we know we let ourselves down a bit towards the back end of the first game, but we went again away at Essex and backed up our batting with a really sound bowling effort.
“Personally I have had a couple opportunities to have a quick look and try add some impetus to our innings at the back end of things, but what I love about my role is that if I don’t quite go as well with the gloves or the bat first-up, I have the chance to put it right in the second innings.”
