Glos sign Ireland international Harry Tector for opening One Day Cup fixture
31 July 2023
Gloucestershire have signed Ireland international Harry Tector for the opening Metro Bank One Day Cup match of the season.
The specialist white-ball batter will go straight into the squad for Shire’s match vs Derbyshire at Cheltenham College tomorrow having been signed on a short-term basis to relieve pressure on Gloucestershire’s injury-hit squad.
At only the age of 23, Tector has played in more than 100 matches for Ireland including 62 IT20s and 38 ODIs. In one-day international cricket, Tector has amassed 1500 runs at an average of 50.43 and has scored 11 50s and four 100s.
Tector has played in franchise cricket overseas including for Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as well as T20 cricket domestically in Ireland.
A right-hand bat and occasional bowler, Tector has 82 List A appearances to his name in which he has scored 2789 runs at an average of 42.90. He struck a career best 140 against Bangladesh in the second one-day international at Chelmsford earlier this summer.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Tector also has 102 T20 appearances to his name and has scored 1773 runs in the shorter format.
Tector is in-line to make not only his debut for Gloucestershire tomorrow at the Cheltenham Cricket Festival, but also his debut in English cricket for any County side.
