Neil Pinner, who made first-class and List A debuts in 2011, mustered 30 appearances for Worcestershire in first-class and List A games, scoring 624 runs in the process as an obdurate top-order batsman, before he was released in 2013. He was given in opportunity in Leicestershire's 2nd XI the following summer and despite a season disrupted by a broken arm impressed enough to win a one-year contract for 2015.

Pinner attended the Royal Grammer School in Worcester, the sixth oldest in the world. He played for England Under-16s and top-scored in a series against Australia and played club cricket in Adelaide during the winter of 2009-10.
