About Benjamin Ward

Benjamin Ward is a name that pulses with energy, ambition, and raw cricketing talent. Representing Jersey with jersey number 36, Ben is an all-rounder who doesn’t just fill a role—he explodes through it. Whether he’s wheeling in with his leg-breaks or launching sixes down the ground, Ward plays cricket like it’s his canvas—intuitive, fearless, and thrilling to watch. In the realm of associate cricket, he stands tall as one of the most dynamic young prospects. Born on January 29, 2000, in South Africa, Ben grew up immersed in a cricketing culture that values grit and flair in equal measure. His early exposure to competitive school and club cricket instilled in him the fundamentals of the game, but it was in Jersey where he transformed from a promising youngster into an international all-rounder. He qualified to represent Jersey and made his mark with the kind of performances that earned him admiration both on and off the island. With the ball, Ben is a genuine wicket-taker. A right-arm leg-spinner who relishes flight, drift, and sharp turn, he thrives on pressure situations. Unlike many young spinners, he doesn’t shy away from tossing it up—even when the stakes are high. His variations, especially the googly and slider, are subtle yet deadly. In multiple T20I and List A matches, Ben has provided Jersey with game-changing breakthroughs, frequently dismantling middle orders with precision and nerve. Bat in hand, Ward is equally destructive. A hard-hitting right-hander, he often bats in the lower middle order, where his explosive power and quick decision-making are crucial. Whether the team needs a late flourish or a fearless counter-attack, Ben answers the call. He once smacked 34 off just 12 balls in a crunch qualifier game, flipping the momentum and helping Jersey cross the line with flair. That ability to change the course of a match in just a few deliveries makes him a true T20 asset. But what truly defines Ben Ward is his mentality. He’s the first to run in for a diving stop, the loudest voice in the huddle, and the kind of player who celebrates every teammate’s success as his own. His high-octane energy is contagious, lifting those around him even in the most testing conditions. He trains with intensity, studies the game deeply, and is always searching for ways to improve—traits that mark him out as a future leader within the side. Off the field, Ben is humble, approachable, and passionate about inspiring Jersey’s next wave of cricketers. He frequently engages with the community, volunteers at cricket clinics, and has become a role model for aspiring all-rounders on the island. Benjamin Ward is not just a cricketer; he’s a statement—of ambition, athleticism, and the exciting future of Jersey cricket. In every over he bowls and every ball he strikes, he plays for more than just stats—he plays to put Jersey on the global cricketing map.
