Promising English bowler Hobden dies at age 22
Print Edition
Matthew Hobden, an English cricketer regarded as one of the most talented up-and-coming players in the country, has died. He was 22.
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced Hobden’s death yesterday. It didn’t give a cause of death. Hobden was a seam bowler who had been selected for the Potential England Performance program for each of the last two years. He played county cricket for Sussex. “As a player, I remember the first time I saw him just thinking, ‘Wow’,” said Kevin Shine, the ECB’s fast bowling coach. “He was the strongest, most powerful cricketer. His potential was huge, he was improving rapidly and I’m certain that he would’ve played for England.” England players wore black armbands in his memory on the 2nd day of the 2nd test against South Africa in Cape Town yesterday.
