Liam Livingstone is one of the most electrifying cricketers in modern-day white-ball cricket. A man with wrists like whips and confidence that borders on audacious, Livingstone has the rare ability to hit the ball out of any ground, with either hand, against any bowler, on any surface.
Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, Livingstone grew up as a raw talent with natural hitting instincts. He first gained attention in 2015 when he scored 350 off 138 balls in a club game—an innings so outrageous it broke the internet. His rise through Lancashire was steady, but his destiny was always to be a white-ball superstar.
Livingstone made his T20I debut in 2017, but it was during 2021 that his international career truly exploded. In a T20I against Pakistan, he hammered 103 off just 42 balls, the fastest century ever by an England player in T20Is. That same summer, he hit a six that traveled 122 meters, one of the biggest ever recorded.
What makes Livingstone special isn’t just his power—it’s his versatility. He can bowl both off-spin and leg-spin, often switching between them in a single over based on the batter. In a format where multi-dimensional players are gold, Livingstone is platinum.
Key highlights:
- Member of England’s 2022 T20 World Cup-winning team, delivering vital overs and fielding contributions
- First-choice player in major franchise leagues, including the IPL (Punjab Kings), The Hundred (Birmingham Phoenix), BBL, and more
- Known for redefining the role of a modern all-rounder
His value in England’s setup extends beyond boundaries and wickets. He brings energy, swagger, and an unshakeable belief. He’s the type of cricketer who can turn a game in five balls and enjoys the responsibility of doing so.
Off the field, Livingstone is light-hearted, popular in the dressing room, and deeply connected to his Lancashire roots. He’s also candid about his growth, learning from early inconsistencies and maturing into one of England’s most dependable match-winners.
With jersey number 23, Liam Livingstone is the embodiment of modern T20 cricket—a fearless hitter, smart spinner, electric fielder, and an entertainer who turns cricket grounds into theatres.
