Adam Hose’s reputation for hitting the ball hard and a long way have made him a popular pick for franchises around the world.
Adam has played two seasons of Big Bash League cricket for Adelaide Strikers, two stints for Desert Vipers in the International League in Dubai, for Wellington in New Zealand’s Super Smash and for St Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League.
He has also had three seasons with Northern Superchargers in The Hundred but his reputation was forged in county cricket, first at Somerset, then with Warwickshire and now with Worcestershire.
Adam is a native of the Isle of Wight where he played his formative cricket before joining the MCC Young Cricketers scheme at Lord’s where he made four centuries in his three-year stint.
Adam as offered trials by Somerset at the start of the 2015 season and two centuries in early matches helped to secure his first contract and a regular place in their List A side later that summer.
He signed off the 2015 season with a double century in a Second XI match against Gloucestershire at Taunton and made his first-class debut in 2016 against the touring Pakistanis.
The 2017 season proved to be Adam’s breakthrough year as he made his maiden List A century for Somerset against Gloucestershire. Somerset were keen to keep Adam beyond the 2017 season but he opted for a three-year contract with Warwickshire and was allowed to join them with immediate effect.
Adam struck 76 from 43 balls, with one of his five sixes landing in the top deck of the Edgbaston pavilion, on his Warwickshire debut against Lancashire in a T20 match and went on to become a key member of the side that went on to win the Blast that year.
Before the start of the 2018 season Adam played two matches for the North against the South in Barbados, matches which pitted some of England’s emerging young talent against each other with the games monitored by the national selectors.
On his return to Edgbaston Hose made a half-century on his first-class debut for the county against Durham UCCE at Edgbaston and followed up with his maiden first-class century against Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston in 2019.
During his last three seasons with Warwickshire Adam was used as white ball specialist which included T20 centuries against Northamptonshire in 2020 and Worcestershire in 2022.
Worcestershire were impressed and recruited Adam for the 2023 season, a move that has helped to resurrect his red ball career.
There were three half-centuries in a season’s best aggregate of 566 runs in 2023 and a further 526 runs and four fifties in 2024.
Adam’s globetrotting on the T20 circuit has also brought plenty of runs with more than 2,000 in the format plus another 408 in The Hundred.
