Alex Wylie

Who is Alex Wylie?

Alex Wylie is a former English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Worcestershire in the 1990s. He was born in Tamworth.

Wylie made only three first-class appearances. He picked up just two wickets in his brief first-team career: the first, on his debut against Nottinghamshire in 1993, was a rather fortunate one, having Bruce French dismissed hit wicket. Two years later he had Middlesex's John Emburey caught by David Leatherdale.

He had played for Worcestershire's Second XI as early as 1989, and joined the staff in 1991. However, injury blighted his chances and it was not until 1993 that a feature in The Guardian listed him as Worcestershire's "one to watch", noting his "extremely rapid" bowling.

Wylie also played club cricket for Droitwich Spa in the Midland Combined Counties League.
