Nottinghamshire First-Class Debut – 15th September 2014 v Sussex (Trent Bridge)
With more than 20 first-class matches under his belt already, Jake Libby will be hoping for a full season in Nottinghamshire’s championship side and the opportunity to turn raw potential into consistently high returns.
The Cornish opener could not have enjoyed a more productive start to life as a first-class cricketer.
A debut knock of 108 versus Sussex made the then 21-year old the first Nottinghamshire player since 1946 to score a debut century in a championship match.
A productive winter of grade cricket in Tasmania would follow, although the adventure came at a cost in the form of an anterior cruciate ligament injury and subsequent operation.
After returning from a lengthy lay-off, a couple of unproductive appearances ended a miserable 2015 for the right-hander but he bounced back in style last summer.
A short loan spell with Northants brought a second career ton, a stylish innings of 102 against Derbyshire at Wantage Road.
Back with Notts, he reeled off a series of promising contributions in the second half of the season, including a terrific knock of 144 against Durham at Chester-le-Street.
A product of Callington Cricket Club of the Cornwall Premier League, Libby's first-class debut came for Cardiff MCCU in April 2014 having already gained experience in Minor Counties cricket with his native county.
