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<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally 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\u2019t quite go as well with the gloves or the bat first-up, I have the chance to put it right in the second innings.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Worcestershire starlet Henry Cullen is looking to maximise his sustained run in the Metro Bank One Day Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-63852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
