Jonny Bairstow
Jonathan Marc Bairstow (born 26 September 1989) is an English cricketer who played internationally for England in all formats as a right-handed wicket-keeper-batter. In domestic cricket, he has played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club since 2009. He has also played for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Bairstow made his One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) debuts in 2011, and his Test debut in 2012. With Ben Stokes, he holds the world record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Test cricket: 399 against South Africa during England's 2015–16 tour. Bairstow was part of the England team that won the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
Jonny Bairstow was born on 26 September 1989 in Bradford, West Yorkshire. His mother, Janet, became the first female vice-president of Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 2020. His father was David Bairstow, who played as a wicket-keeper for both Yorkshire and England. David died in 1998 when Jonny was eight years old, but he had taught Jonny how to play cricket and has remained a lasting inspiration. Jonny has a sister, Rebecca, and their elder half-brother is former Derbyshire player Andrew Bairstow.
Bairstow went to St Peter's School, York, in 2001 and became an all-round athlete. When he was interviewed by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2016, he recalled that besides keeping wicket inn|rugby]], a centre-mid in hockey, and a right-back in football. His cricketing ability was recognised by Wisden in 2008 when he was chosen as the inaugural winner of their Young Schools Cricketer of the Year award, after he had scored 654 runs for the school in 2007. In football, Bairstow was a member of the Leeds United Academy for eight years until he was fifteen. When it came to a choice between cricket and football, he felt that he had the ability "to make it professionally" in cricket, but not in football.
Aged 18, Bairstow was invited to play Second Eleven cricket for Yorkshire in the 2008 season, making six appearances in the Second XI Championship, in which he scored 308 runs at an average of 61.60. He was included in Yorkshire's first-team squad for the final County Championship match of the season against Sussex, but was not selected for the starting eleven. Three weeks later, however, Bairstow signed a two-year contract with Yorkshire.
He began the 2009 season playing for the Second XI. He was awarded his Second XI cap and, in early June, he scored 202 not out against Leicestershire Second XI. Bairstow was then picked for the first team in a County Championship match against Somerset at Headingley. He replaced the injured Michael Vaughan and, on his first-class debut, scored 28 and 82. In Somerset's second innings, Yorkshire's wicket-keeper Gerard Brophy was injured and Bairstow replaced him, taking four catches. He played in twelve first-class matches that season, scoring 592 runs at an average of 45.53, completing six half-centuries with a highest score of 84 not out, and taking 21 catches.
Bairstow became a Yorkshire first-team regular in the 2010 season. In sixteen first-class appearances, he scored 918 runs at 41.72 with eight fifties and a highest score of 81. He took 29 catches and completed five stumpings. His potential was recognised by selection for the England Performance Programme squad to tour Australia in 2010–11. In addition, he was a member of the England Lions team which toured the West Indies from January to March 2011. The Lions took part in the 2010–11 Regional Four Day Competition and Bairstow played in three of their seven matches. His best performance was an innings of 85 against Combined Campuses and Colleges, sharing a fifth wicket partnership of 134 with Jimmy Adams.
Bairstow became Yorkshire's first-choice wicket-keeper in the 2011 season and was awarded his county cap. He began the season well and scored 205, his maiden first-class century, against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. Playing in fifteen matches, he scored 1,213 runs in the season at 48.52 with three centuries, and was the only Yorkshire batter to score 1,000 runs. He also took 47 catches.
