Ben Henry Nicholas Howgego (born 3 March 1988) is a former English professional cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

Career

Howgego played for the Northamptonshire Second XI in 2005, and also played for an ECB Development team when India toured England in 2006. He then made his first-class debut for Northamptonshire as an opening batsman against Gloucestershire in August 2008, having played in the Second XI Championship up to that point in the season.[1] In 2009, he started in the first team due to Niall O'Brien, the regular opening Batsman being injured. He then went back to Exeter University where he was studying for a degree in Sport Science. On return to Northampton, he opened the batting against the touring Australian team scoring 46 runs in the second innings. He then continued to play for the second team, but was unable to do himself justice as he had back and knee injuries.

Howgego got his chance in the 2010 season when an injury to opener Niall O'Brien allowed him a run in the Northants First XI. After several useful knocks, he made his maiden first-class half century against Derbyshire, during a match saving 172-run 3rd wicket partnership with David Sales.

On 16 August 2012, Howgego was released from his Northamptonshire contract after only two first team appearances in the season.[2]
