Full Name: Zak James Tribe Date of Birth: March 21, 2002 Birthplace: Buckinghamshire, England Role: Right-Handed Batter | Right-Arm Off-Spinner | Batting All-Rounder Zak Tribe is part of a new wave of Jersey cricketers—a generation that blends international polish with deep island pride. A right-handed batter and capable off-spinner, Tribe brings versatility, flair, and youthful confidence to Jersey’s middle order. Wearing jersey number 2, he has made his mark as a dependable all-rounder who plays fearless cricket with both bat and ball. Born in Buckinghamshire, England, but proudly representing Jersey through family ties and residency, Zak’s journey into cricket was shaped by early exposure to England’s school-level circuits. His grounding in the UK’s competitive cricket environment gave him a technically sharp batting style and a mature approach to the game. But when it came to national allegiance, Zak chose Jersey—bringing not just his skills, but also his ambition to help the island grow on the world stage. Zak’s breakthrough moment came during the ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League B in 2023, where he delivered multiple standout performances. One of his most memorable innings was a gutsy 72 against Italy, where he guided Jersey out of early trouble with a mature and composed knock. His ability to absorb pressure and rebuild innings has been a hallmark of his batting style—often stepping up when the team needs stability. Tribe’s technique is classical, but he has the switch to modern aggression when the game demands it. He’s equally comfortable playing spin or pace, and his cover drives and late cuts show his cricketing intelligence. In T20s, he adapts well—capable of accelerating when needed or holding one end to allow the hitters around him to flourish. But Tribe isn’t just a batter. His off-spin bowling gives Jersey flexibility in the middle overs. He bowls with subtle variations and tight control, often used to break partnerships or stem the scoring rate. In 2022, during the T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, he bowled a key spell of 3-0-17-2 against a strong Germany side, showing he can hold his own under pressure. In the field, Zak is athletic and alert. Whether stationed inside the ring or on the boundary, he’s a sharp mover with safe hands—often contributing in ways that don’t show up on the scorecard but make a big difference on match day. Off the pitch, Zak is known as a calm, focused individual with strong team values. He’s often praised for his willingness to adapt to any role—be it finishing an innings, anchoring a chase, or bowling the crucial overs. His attitude reflects maturity beyond his years, and teammates respect his quiet determination and strong work ethic. Still only in his early 20s, Zak Tribe, with jersey number 2, stands poised to be a cornerstone of Jersey cricket in the coming decade. With every match, he proves he’s more than just potential—he’s a complete cricketer in the making. Smart, stylish, and composed, Zak is helping build the foundation of Jersey’s cricketing future—one innings, one over at a time.
