Career
A left-handed top order batter and occasional right-arm legspin bowler, Wells made his first-class debut for Sussex at the end of the 2010 season.[1]
He joined Lancashire in November 2020 having been released by Sussex.[2] He was awarded his Lancashire cap in September 2022.[3]
Wells spent the 2018/19 and 2019/20 English winters playing club cricket in Australia for Casey-South Melbourne. He notably scored 290 in a match in February 2020, the highest individual innings ever in a Victorian Premier Cricket match played under two-day time restrictions.[4]
He made his debut in the Hundred in August 2023 for Welsh Fire, making 57 on his debut in a rain shortened game and being awarded man of the match.[5]
Wells is the son of former England player Alan Wells, and the nephew of Colin Wells, both of whom also played for Sussex.
