Full name: Christopher Barry Cooke

Place of birth: Johannesburg, South Africa

Right-hand batter, Wicketkeeper

Chris Cooke is one of Glamorgan’s longest-serving players having made his debut for the county in 2011 following a couple of seasons playing for Western Province in his native South Africa.

Originally playing as a batter, he took over the wicketkeeper’s gloves from Mark Wallace in 2017, and has remained behind the stumps ever since. But he is equally valuable as a batter, and has been part of three first-class county partnership records for Glamorgan for the fifth, sixth and eighth wickets, with the unbeaten stand of 461 for the sixth wicket with Sam Northeast versus Leicestershire in 2022 being the highest.

A former red-ball and white-ball captain of Glamorgan, Chris’s contribution to the team is acknowledged by team-mates, opponents and supporters alike.
