Nottinghamshire First Class Debut - April 5 v Essex (Trent Bridge)
An imposing figure with height and pace, Shrewsbury-born seamer Dillon Pennington is one of several former England U19 cricketers in Nottinghamshire’s squad.
His selection for the 2018 World Cup came in the same year he was handed his List A debut for Worcestershire in the Royal London One Day Cup, a marker of his potential as a teenager.
That season, he also took 22 wickets in Division One of the County Championship, making clear his multi-format abilities.
He went on to tally 117 first team appearances across six seasons for the Pears before making the switch to Trent Bridge ahead of the 2024 season.
He cited fast-bowling coach Kevin Shine as one of the major reasons for making his move to the East Midlands, while he claimed his maiden Notts wicket in the opening fixture of their First-Class campaign against Essex.
In the inaugural season of The Hundred, Pennington was selected by Birmingham Phoenix.
