17-year-old sibling of an England Test cricketer achieves second consecutive fifty in One-Day Cup
In the recent One-Day Cup match between Durham and Somerset, 17-year-old Thomas Rew, brother of England Test contender James, made a significant impact with his batting. Rew scored an impressive 84 not out off 81 balls, marking his second consecutive fifty in the competition. His knock included eight fours and two sixes, and was backed by No.8 Ben Green who remained unbeaten on 34.
The match ended in a four-wicket win for Somerset, with Alfie Ogborne taking a maiden five-wicket haul (5-41). Quick dismissals of Josh Thomas and Finley Hill left Somerset in trouble at 189-6, but Rew's consistent performance helped them secure the victory.
Rew's excellent form in the One-Day Cup is not a new phenomenon. In his List A debut a month earlier, he played for the First-Class Counties Select XI against Pakistan Shaheens at Hove.
Rew's contributions extend beyond the One-Day Cup. He captained the England Under-19s during their 2-3 Youth ODI series defeat to India in June-July. In the second game of the series, he scored a maiden U19 century, leading England to a thrilling one-wicket victory. Rew finished as the second-highest run-scorer in the series with 280 runs at 93.33, boasting a strike rate of 142.13.
In another notable achievement, Rew scored 162 runs at 40.50 with two fifties in two drawn Youth Tests against India, captaining the side in the second match. He also built a 95-run partnership with his brother James before James fell for 39.
Thomas Rew's recent performances highlight a strong start to his limited-overs career. While his formal career stats are not comprehensively reported in available databases, it is clear that he is an up-and-coming player with notable achievements at the domestic and England Under-19 levels.
