Carberry began his career at
Early life
Carberry, who was born in Croydon on 29 September 1980, is of Guyanese and Barbadian descent.[3] He was educated at St John Rigby College in West Wickham.[4]
Domestic cricket
Surrey
Carberry began playing for the
Kent
Carberry was signed initially by Kent as a batsman who could stand-in for
The following season, Carberry made 12 first-class appearances, which came with some success. He scored 639 runs at an average of 42.60, with two centuries and a high score of 112.[10] He performed well in that season's tour match against the New Zealanders, scoring 75 runs and sharing a 117-run partnership with Geraint Jones.[17][18] A regular appearer in List A cricket for Kent that season,[6] he scored 360 runs at an average of 24.00, with a high score of 76.[14] He again featured for Kent in the 2004 Twenty20 Cup, although he performed poorly in that season's competition, scoring 15 runs at an average of just 3.75.[19] He fell out of favour in the County Championship in 2005, playing just a single first-class match, against Bangladesh A.[6] He still managed to maintain his place in the Kent limited-overs side, playing 12 List A matches in 2005, scoring 204 runs at an average of 24.50 with a high score of 63.[14] He performed well in the 2005 Twenty20 Cup, making 7 appearances.[16] He scored 242 runs at an average of 80.66, with a high score of 59 not out.[19] During the 2005 season, Carberry had become increasingly frustrated by figures at Kent; the county gave him permission to talk to other counties.[20] He eventually opted to join Hampshire for the 2006 season.[21] His time at Kent brought him 1510 first-class runs at an average of 37.75, with a high score of 137,[22] and 736 one-day runs at an average of 23.74, with a high score of 79.[23]
Later speaking about his overall time and final season at Kent to the Southern Daily Echo in 2010, he said "I was pretty close to quitting", and how in his opinion "they [Kent] messed me about quite a lot for three years."[24]
Hampshire
Having joined Hampshire on a two-year contract, Carberry made his first-class debut for the county against
The 2007 season was to prove even more successful for Carberry, with him scoring 1,067 first-class runs, which came at an average of 50.80,[10] the first time his batting average had gone above 50 for a season. He struck his highest first-class score that season, making 192 not out against Warwickshire.[28] He played 14 List A matches in 2007,[6] scoring 345 runs with a high score of 75 not out.[14] Additionally, he played part in guiding Hampshire to the final of the 2007 Friends Provident Trophy at Lord's, although in the final itself against Durham he was dismissed for 23 runs by Graham Onions, with Hampshire losing by 125 runs.[29] His performances in the 2007 saw Carberry named as the Hampshire Cricket Society Player of the Year,[30] as well as seeing him selected for the England Lions tour of India. He played for the Marylebone Cricket Club in the Champion County match against Sussex at the beginning of the 2008 season, batting once in the match and scoring 8 runs before being dismissed by Ryan Harris.[31] His form dropped in 2008, with him scoring 815 first-class runs at average of 31.34, with a single century score of 108[10] (although this came for England Lions against the touring New Zealanders).[32] In the 2008 Twenty20 Cup, Carberry had better fortunes, scoring 334 runs at an average of 37.11, with a high score of 58.[19]
2009 brought further success for Carberry, with him passing 1,000 for the season. In total, he scored 1,251 runs at an average of 69.50, his best season average up to that part of his career.
Returning from international duty in the winter, a further strong season followed for Carberry in
Carberry's health was seriously affected, when in November 2010 he was diagnosed with
On 7 August 2013 Carberry hit his first T20 century as he reached 100 (not out) against Lancashire in the 2013 Friends Life Quarter Final.[43]
Leicestershire
Following a brief loan spell shortly before the close of the 2017 season, he has joined Leicestershire permanently for the 2018 season. He was appointed captain in October 2017 succeeding Mark Cosgrove. In May 2018, however, he was relieved of the captaincy following a review by the head coach. Leicestershire announced that Carberry was leaving the club on 17 October 2018.[44]
International career
Carberry had represented England from U-15 level,
His next international honours came after his move to Hampshire, which had revitalised what was a stuttering career. Following a good debut
In August 2009, he was once again called up to the England Lions team to play
Carberry was retained in the England Test squad for the 2009–10 tour of Bangladesh,[56] with England choosing to rest captain and opener Andrew Strauss, with fellow opener Alastair Cook taking over the captaincy. Carberry was selected for the opening Test at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. He opened the batting with Cook, making 30 in the first-innings in an opening stand worth 72, before Carberry fell leg before to Mahmudullah. He made 34 in the second-innings, before being dismissed by Abdur Razzak, with England winning the match by 181 runs. He demonstrated his highly rated fielding by initiating the run out of Naeem Islam in the Bangladesh first-innings.[57]
Carberry was called up in summer 2013 to the England squads for both the T20 and ODI series' against Australia.[58] On 14 September he took his first catch – a one-handed catch to dismiss Mathew Wade – and soon after hit his maiden England fifty on his way to 63 in his fourth match.
2013–14 Ashes Tour
It was announced on 23 September 2013 that Carberry would be part of the England touring squad for the 2013–14 Ashes series. He played a number of valuable innings in the warm-up games, including 78 against Western Australia in the first match of the tour, followed by an unbeaten - he retired out - 153 against Australia A.
On 21 November 2013 he made his England Ashes debut in the first match in Brisbane. He opened the innings with skipper Cook on the second day, and top-scored with 40 runs in a generally composed innings. In the second Test, in Adelaide, Carberry scored 60, his maiden Test half-century. Even though the remainder of the tour was frustrating for Carberry, as he was unable to convert a number of good starts into significant scores, he did finish the Ashes series with the third highest English batting average, above the likes of Root, Bell and Cook.
