A prolific top-order batsman and more than a useful leggie, Cameron Steel is a professional English cricketer for Durham. Steel is a product of Durham’s youth set-up and first burst onto the scene in 2017 aged just 21 when he became Durham’s youngest ever double-centurion, striking 224 against Leicestershire.
The California-born batter made his first-class debut against Derbyshire in April 2014 at the tender age of 18. Steel stockpiled 889 runs in his debut season before also striking 638 runs in the following season.
In just 4 seasons in the English domestic circuit, Steel has amassed over 2000 first-class runs and is in no mood to stop. The 25-year old signed up as an injury cover to Aneurin Donald and made his move to Hampshire on a two-month loan deal.
The right-hander has already featured for Hampshire Second XI in a friendly fixture so far this season, recording an excellent 134 at the top-of-the-order against a strong Surrey Second XI side. The competition within the squad will certainly be a learning curvature for the youngster trying to cement his place in the starting XI of the first team.
