Profile

An enthusiastic cricketer from an early age, John Simpson played first-team Lancashire league cricket for Haslingden when only ten years old. From then on he seemed destined to play professional cricket, having represented Lancashire in every age group from Under-11 upwards. He earned his first Engand's Under-19 call-up for the 2005 tour of Bangladesh, impressing enough to gain a place in the World Cup squad. A wicketkeeper-batsman, he was taken on as an MCC Young Cricketer in 2008 and impressed Middlesex enough to be given a contract until the end of 2009. He spent the 2008-09 winter at the Darren Lehmann Academy. After a quiet 2010 season he impressed, along with the rest of his team-mates, in 2011 to help Middlesex win promotion with 869 runs at 43.45.
