County career
D'Oliveira made his debut for Worcestershire on 29 August 2011 in a Pro40 match against Yorkshire. D'Oliveira did not bat as Worcestershire made 230-7 from their 40 overs. In the Yorkshire innings he bowled 6 overs for 40 runs, taking one wicket, that of youngster Joe Root who was caught by Daryl Mitchell for 62. Worcestershire lost the game by 6 wickets.[5] He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Warwickshire at Birmingham on 8 August 2012. He has 6 first ball ducks.
Originally rated as a leg-spinner, he was promoted to open the batting at the end of the 2015 season, with enough success to earn an extended run in 2016. Suddenly his batting blossomed with a series of high scores, including an unbeaten double century against Glamorgan. Despite only just having achieved a regular place in his county side, he was called up to play for England Lions.[6] However, his performances in the First Class game have since been inconsistent, and his bowling better suited for limited-overs cricket.[citation needed] In 2018 and 2019 he captained his county in many limited-overs matches in the absence of designated limited-overs captain Moeen Ali. In 2022, D'Oliviera was appointed as the Worcestershire captain. In his first two matches as captain in the County Championship, D'Oliviera scored two centuries.[7]
