Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Oliver Benjamin Cox (born 2 February 1992) is an English cricketer who plays county cricket for Worcestershire as right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper.
Cox has been associated with Worcestershire for some years, having played at Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 level, although not originally as a wicket-keeper.[1]
He captained the Under-17 side against Somerset U-17s in July 2009, scoring exactly 100.[2]
Cox was called up to make his first-class debut, aged 17, in Worcestershire's penultimate County Championship match of 2009, against Somerset at Taunton. He scored 61 in his only innings of a drawn match (sharing a century partnership with Daryl Mitchell, who scored 298); keeping wicket, his first first-class dismissal was that of Marcus Trescothick, stumped off the bowling of Moeen Ali for 72.[3][4] He was awarded a four-year contract by Worcestershire later that year.[5]
Cox did not establish himself as Worcestershire's first choice wicket-keeper until 2014 when he was 22 years of age. In that season he scored his first first-class century (against Essex) and was described by former-England wicket-keeper James Foster as "...one of the best young keepers I have ever seen."[6][7]
In 2018 Vitality Blast Finals day, Cox played a key part in Worcestershire winning their first Vitality T20 Blast trophy. In the Semi-Final, against Lancashire he scored 55* and in the final, against Sussex made 46*, scoring the winning runs. He was made Player of the Match in both games to become to first player to receive two such awards in one day .[8]
In December 2018, he signed with Otago cricket team to play in the 2018–19 Super Smash T20 tournament in New Zealand.[9]
In The 2021 Vitality Blast Campaign, Ben Cox was appointed captain for the competition due to the absence of Moeen Ali.
