\u201cWe are there to do a job\u201d: Ben Allison\u00a0dials\u00a0in\u00a0ahead of Essex clash\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a helter-skelter start to the 2026 Metro Bank One Day Cup, Sunday\u2019s trip to face Essex is\u00a0arguably the\u00a0most exciting one yet for Worcestershire seamer Ben Allison.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has become a central figure\u00a0at New Road since joining in the winter of 2024,\u00a0establishing\u00a0himself as a potent part of the Worcestershire armoury.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
After\u00a0finishing last season as the leading wicket taker in the\u00a0One Day\u00a0Cup with an impressive 19 scalps to his name, the right-arm seamer endured\u00a0a frustrating\u00a0start to 2026,\u00a0with injury delaying his season\u00a0by over two months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fit and firing once again and fresh off Friday\u2019s impressive win over Middlesex, Sunday will see Allison return to the ground he once called home having started his career at Chelmsford.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite spending five years\u00a0on the East coast, Worcestershire\u2019s quick\u00a0has no issues in putting emotions to one side once he gets the ball in his hand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoyed a\u00a0good few years\u00a0there. Of course, I have some good memories and there is a lot of familiar faces there who\u00a0I look forward to catching up with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a while ago now though, and I feel like a lot has changed since then, so I am really excited to show what I can do when\u00a0I\u00a0get the chance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have made a good start to the tournament again,\u00a0and ultimately, we\u00a0are there to do a job on Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0about anything else really other than doing our thing, worrying about ourselves and\u00a0all of\u00a0the boys doing what we know we can do and executing our jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we do that like we know we can, we will give ourselves a great shot against anyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe are there to do a job\u201d: Ben Allison\u00a0dials\u00a0in\u00a0ahead of Essex clash\u00a0\u00a0 After a helter-skelter start to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-723514","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\/723514","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=723514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
