Overview

  • Tom Latham marked his Warwickshire debut with an unbeaten 139 off 244 balls against Surrey, helping his team reach 364/4 by the close of play on May 9, 2025.
  • The left-hander showcased his adaptability, scoring his first fifty off 105 balls before accelerating to reach his century in just 56 more deliveries.
  • Latham formed key partnerships, including a 112-run stand with Rob Yates, who contributed 86, and a 69-run partnership with Sam Hain.
  • His debut was delayed by a broken finger suffered during net practice in March, but he proved his value as a mid-season recruit for Warwickshire's batting lineup.
  • Signed on a one-year, all-format deal, Latham brings extensive county and international experience, having previously played for Kent, Durham, and Surrey.
