Former Warwickshire captain and proud B3 Pro Ambassador, Will Rhodes, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his cricket career. Starting from the 2025 season, Will has signed a three-year contract with Durham, bringing his wealth of talent and leadership to the North East.
A Stellar Addition to Durham’s Squad
At 29 years old, Will joins Durham with a glittering resume. With over 100 first-class matches under his belt and more than 7,000 career runs to his name, he is a proven performer at the highest levels. Not only is he a formidable batsman, but his leadership credentials are also second to none. As captain, Will led Warwickshire to County Championship glory in 2021, joining an elite group of just seven captains to achieve this feat in the club’s history.
Speaking about his move, Will expressed his excitement for the challenges ahead:
"I am really excited to be joining Durham next season. I have heard nothing but good things about the Club from past and current players, so I am looking forward to getting up North in the winter and getting started with everyone."
This move also supports Will’s personal goals, including a desire to have a greater impact in T20 cricket, a format where he’s determined to make his mark.
Will’s Trusted B3 Companion
Will has been a loyal B3 Pro Ambassador for three seasons, relying on his trusted B3 bat to deliver consistently on the field. We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Will as he takes this exciting next step in his career.
