Welsh talent shines in Glamorgan’s bright startImage source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyImage caption, Kiran Carlson, Ben Kellaway and Tom Norton have all come through the Glamorgan pathwayPublished28 minutes agoGlamorgan director of cricket Mark Wallace has praised the contribution of Welsh-born players to the county’s encouraging start to the season – and believes more local talent is on the way.Having returned to Division One after 21 years away, the Kiran Carlson-led side are third after the first block of Championship games thanks to two wins and three draws from six matches.Cardiff-born Carlson’s innings this season include a career-best 209 against Hampshire.
Newport’s Ben Kellaway, 22, hit 139 in this week’s draw against Warwickshire, and Abergavenny teenager Tom Norton made a stunning first-class debut with a hat-trick against Somerset.
“I think it’s a case of the last few years, we probably haven’t had enough of those young Welsh talented players playing for Glamorgan,” reported Wallace.
“We want players to come through our pathway and play cricket for Glamorgan, so to have Ben doing so well, Kiran as captain doing well, and young players like Tom coming in and doing really well straight away is great to see.”
