Kyle William Hogg (born 2 July 1983) is an English former
He was awarded his county caps by Worcestershire and Lancashire in 2007 and 2010 respectively. Hogg took 50 wickets in the 2011 County Championship to help Lancashire to claim the title for the first time since 1950. Hogg subsequently established himself as Lancashire's opening bowler in first-class cricket alongside captain Glen Chapple. A back injury forced Hogg to retire in September 2014 at the age of 31.
Career
Hogg was born on 2 July 1983 in Birmingham, West Midlands. His family moved to Oldham when he was a child.[2] Between 2000–01 and 2002 Kyle Hogg played six youth Test matches for England under-19s. He scored 157 runs at an average of 17.44, with a highest score of 50, and took 20 wickets at an average of 26.45 with one five-wicket haul. Between 2001 and 2002 he also played 11 youth ODIs, scoring 295 runs at an average of 36.87 with a highest score of 103 and taking 11 wickets at a cost of 41.28 runs each with best bowling figures of 3 wickets for 41 runs (3/41).[3]
Hogg made his first-class debut on 13 June 2001, representing Lancashire in a match against
In Hogg's opinion, the 2006 English season was "make or break" for his career. In the one-day side, he constantly opened the bowling and felt he produced consistent performance for the first time in his career. As well as claiming 15 wickets in the County Championship,
In May 2007 Hogg signed a four-month loan deal with Worcestershire to act as cover for injured seam bowlers Roger Sillence and Matt Mason.[12] While playing for Worcestershire, Hogg claimed 3/44, his best bowling figures in the County Championship since 2002.[13] In June injuries to Lancashire's squad meant that Hogg returned to the club before the conclusion of his four-month contract.[14] Hogg played two first-class and four one-day matches for Worcestershire,[10][15] taking six and two wickets in the respective formats.[11][16] While playing for Worcestershire, Hogg was also awarded his county cap.[17] Despite injuries, Hogg struggled to secure a place in Lancashire's first team, and in July 2007 moved to Nottinghamshire on loan for a month to bolster their injury-hit squad.[18] Hogg went wicketless in the two first-class matches he played.[10][11] He took three wickets at an average of 39.66.[16] After two spells on loan, Hogg felt he was not part of Lancashire's plans and considered leaving the club.[19]
Ahead of the 2008 English season, Lancashire toured Dubai as part of pre-season training. Hogg was pleased with his performance on the tour, however a broken bone in his right hand meant he missed the first two weeks of county cricket back in England.[19] In June 2010 Kyle got his best batting figures when he hit 88 in the Roses match against Yorkshire at Old Trafford. Batting at number 10, he helped Lancashire avoid the follow-on and left the ground to a standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd.[20] In the same match, Hogg took his 100th first-class wicket: that of Adam Lyth who was in the running to become the first batsman to reach 1,000 in the season.[20] At the start of August, Hogg was awarded his county cap.[21] The following month he scored his second first-class half-century of the season, on this occasion 81 against Hampshire.[22] In the same match he took 4 wickets for 53 runs (4/53),[23] his best for the season. In nine first-class matches for Lancashire in 2010, Hogg scored 301 runs (including two half-centuries) at an average of 33.44[24] and took 20 wickets at average of 32.50.[25]
He missed the start of the 2011 season after sustaining a muscle tear in Lancashire's final pre-season warm-up match.
On 5 September 2014 Kyle was forced to announce his retirement from cricket due to a serious back injury. He finished his career with 280 first-class wickets from 114 matches with eight five-wicket hauls and one ten-wicket match return. He also scored 2,708 runs with 16 half-centuries.[36]
After retiring he took a position as a tour manager for SJM Concerts.[37] In 2021, he returned to Lancashire as Girls’ County Age Group Performance Manager. In addition to his role with Lancashire Kyle also linked up with ex teammate Andrew Flintoff to help coach a team of wayward teenagers in the BBC documentary series field of dreams, giving hope to the lives of lads searching for purpose in the Preston region.[38]
