Career Background
David Willey was born on 28 February 1990 in Northampton, England. He is a left-arm fast-medium bowler and hard-hitting left-handed batter who played over 100 T20Is for England before retiring from international cricket in 2023 to focus on franchise cricket. He has since featured in BBL, CPL, and ILT20.
ILT20 Record
Willey plays for Dubai Capitals, who won ILT20 Season 3 and reached the Season 4 final. His left-arm angle with the new ball is a different threat from the right-arm pace bowlers more commonly available in franchise squads.
Playing Style at UAE Venues
At Dubai International Stadium, Willey’s left-arm over-the-wicket angle creates challenging early-over situations for right-handed batters. In the death overs he bowls accurate yorkers and can contribute runs as a lower-order batter.
