Matty Revis

Matty Revis is a product of two famous cricketing finishing schools – Sedbergh School and the Yorkshire Academy.

Harry Brook and George Hill, two of Matty’s Yorkshire team-mates, also benefited from playing at Sedbergh, just over then county border in Cumbria but an outground for Lancashire.

Matty made his debut for Farsley, home club of former England captain Ray Illingworth, in the Bradford League in 2017and then in the Yorkshire Premier League when  he joined the county Academy.

Matty was given his first-class debut against Kent at Headingley in 2019 and quickly established himself as a hard-hitting middle order batter and capable seam bowler, in the mould of Andrew Flintoff, one of his cricket heroes.

He enjoyed a particularly productive 2023 with two centuries, his first against Gloucestershire at Headingley and the second, a career-best 106 against Derbyshire at Scarborough.

Matty also claimed his maiden five wicket haul – five for 50 – against Glamorgan at Cardiff that summer as well his List A best figures of four for 54 against Essex at Chelmsford and his T20 highest score of 42 against Worcestershire at New Road.

Matty’s 2024 season was curtailed by a stress fracture of the back but a winter of rehabilitation allowed him to return fit for the start of the 2025 campaign and he impressed as Yorkshire returned to the top flight of the County Championship.

Having made 150 for the first time against Essex at York’s Clifton Park ground  in late June, Matty improved his first-class best to 152 not out against Sussex at Scarborough a month later and ended the season with 766 Championship runs, including three centuries.

He also made his maiden T20 half-century against Leicestershire at Grace Road and his List A best 85 against Somerset in the Metro Bank Cup at York.

At the end of the 2025 season, Matty was rewarded for a fantastic season with a call up to the England Lions for their trip to Australia in Nov/Dec that year.
