Lewis Gregory (born May 24, 1992) is an English cricketer who plays for the Somerset County Cricket Club. As a right-handed batsman and right-arm seamed bowler, Gregory made his senior cricket debut in 2010, representing Somerset against the touring Pakistanis. In November 2019 he made his international debut for the English cricket team.

Domestic career

Gregory represented Devon County Cricket Club at the youth level, playing U13, U14, U15 and U17 cricket for the county. He made his club debut at the highest level of club cricket and played in the Devon Cricket League in 2006 at the age of 14, scoring 28 runs for Plympton Cricket Club. In 2006 and 2007 he played mainly as a batsman, bowling rarely and in short phases when he did so.

In 2008, his bowling workload increased dramatically, and he finished the season with 20 wickets, averaging 17.40 for Plympton. In July 2008, Gregory was selected to represent the "South and West" at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Regional U-17 Festival and scored a goal in the first of his three games for half a century.

After a number of good performances for England U19 and Somerset Second XI, including a hat trick against Essex Second XI, Gregory made his List A debut for Somerset against the touring Pakistanis. He claimed four wickets in the match before being thrown for a duck in Somerset's answer.

International career

Gregory made his international debut for England's U19s during their series against the touring Sri Lankan U19s. He claimed four wickets in two four-day games against the tourists. He did better in the game's shorter formats, scoring 55 runs and sharing a 103-run partnership with Joe Root to orchestrate victory in the second Twenty20. In the second one-day game, he scored the best goal for England at 87, but despite a 1/16 in an economic bowling spell, he couldn't prevent Sri Lanka's win by over 15 overs.

Gregory was named England U19 captain for the tour of Sri Lanka in January 2011. Gregory was first called up to the English squad for the one-off One Day International (ODI) against Ireland in May 2015, but he has not played.

On May 29, 2020, Gregory was called up to join a group of 55 players to begin training ahead of the international games that begin in England following the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 17, 2020, Gregory joined England's 30-man squad to train behind closed doors for the test series against the West Indies.

On July 9, 2020, Gregory also joined England's 24-man squad to train behind closed doors for the One Day International (ODI) series against Ireland. On July 27, 2020, Gregory was named as one of three reserve players in England's roster for the ODI series.

In November 2020, Gregory was named to the English ODI squad for his series against South Africa. In July 2021, Gregory was named to England's ODI squad for their series against Pakistan after the original squad for the tour was forced to retire after testing positive for COVID-19. Gregory made his ODI debut for England against Pakistan on July 8, 2021.
