Danny Richard Briggs (born 30 April 1991) is an English

DSC Cricket Stadium in Dubai.[5]

Career

Briggs progressed through

MCCA Knockout Trophy match for Berkshire,[6] Briggs appeared in three further List A matches,[7] as well as making his first-class debut in the County Championship against Somerset.[8] Briggs made two further first-class appearances in 2009, taking a total of 8 first-class wickets at an average of 36.87.[9]

His performances during the early part of the season, mostly for Hampshire's Second XI, caught the eye of the selectors of the

West Indies Under-19s.[11] He won one man of the match award against Afghanistan, for his bowling performance of 3/15.[15]

Briggs was able to force his way into Hampshire's first team virtually from the start of the

2010 Friends Provident t20 against Kent.[19] In what would ultimately be a tournament winning campaign for Hampshire, Briggs took 31 wickets at an average of 14.35.[20] In the semi-final against Essex, he was named man of the match for his economical bowling performance, which saw him take 3/29.[1] Overall, Briggs was the second leading wicket taker during the competition, ending just two wickets behind Alfonso Thomas. His wickets during the tournament were also the most by a Hampshire player in any domestic Twenty20 tournament.[1] In recognition of his performances in that season, he was Hampshire's recipient of the NBC Denis Compton Award
.

In November and December 2011, Briggs toured Australia with the England Performance Programme.[21] Soon after this he was selected for the England Lions squad, which had an invitation to take part in the West Indian domestic Regional Four Day Competition in February and March.[22] Playing six first-class matches for the Lions,[8] he took a total of 33 wickets at an average of 18.87,[9] including his maiden first-class five wicket haul with figures of 6/45, which came against the Windward Islands.[23] He also took a second five wicket haul against Jamaica. Briggs was the Lions leading wicket taker during their spell in the competition.[24] Prior to this, in early January, Briggs played for Hampshire in the 2010–11 Caribbean Twenty20, which Hampshire and Somerset had been invited to play as compensation for being unable to take part in the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 due to its scheduling clash with the end of the 2010 English season. As winners and runners-up of the 2010 Friends Provident t20, both Hampshire and Somerset would otherwise have been eligible to take part. Hampshire had another successful Twenty20 tournament, with Hampshire reaching the final, where they would eventually lose to Trinidad and Tobago. Briggs, who played in all six matches, took 5 wickets.[20]

Briggs was in competition with the returning Imran Tahir during the

Friends Provident t20, which once again saw Hampshire reach finals day for a second consecutive season, with Briggs making sixteen appearances during the competition.[19] As part of a three-pronged spin bowling attack alongside Tahir and Pakistani Shahid Afridi, Briggs took 23 wickets at an average of 14.91,[20] while also recording his maiden five wicket haul in Twenty20 matches, with figures of 5/19 against Durham.[26] His performances in this format once again caught the eye of the England selectors, this time Briggs was called up the main England squad for their season ending two match Twenty20 International series against the West Indies,[27]
though he didn't feature in either match. Briggs was for the second season running Hampshire's recipient of the NBC Denis Compton Award.

In the

2022 season of The Hundred.[29]

International career

Following the 2011 season, Briggs was once again selected for the England Lions subcontinent tours to Bangladesh and

Twenty20 International series which followed the one-dayers
.

Briggs started the 2012 season for Hampshire by being awarded a County Cap. He was given this after the first session of Hampshire's first match of the 2012 season against Gloucestershire. He also took 2 wickets in this match which Hampshire narrowly lost.
