Zak Crawley was born in Bromley, Greater London, on February 3, 1998. He received his education at New Beacon School in Sevenoaks and Tonbridge School. Crawley’s early cricketing development took place at Kent, representing the club from under-11 level and progressing through their Cricket Academy. He signed his first professional contract with Kent at the end of the 2015 season. His senior debut for Kent occurred in the 2017 Royal London Cup, followed by his first-class debut in August 2017 against the touring West Indies side, where he scored 62 runs. He continued to make his County Championship debut later that month.
Crawley became a regular in the Kent side during the 2018 season, playing in all first-class matches and scoring his maiden first-class century of 168 against Glamorgan in September. His consistent performance led to an international call-up, despite averaging less than 35 runs per innings in county cricket. He made his England Lions debut in July 2019 and was included in England’s Test squad for their 2019/20 tour of New Zealand, making his Test debut in November 2019. In January 2020, he scored his first Test half-century against South Africa. In the Coronavirus-affected 2020 summer, Crawley achieved a significant milestone by scoring his maiden Test century (267 runs) against Pakistan, establishing a new England fifth-wicket record partnership of 359 runs with Jos Buttler. This performance earned him recognition as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2021.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, Crawley experienced fluctuating international form but demonstrated resilience. He made his One Day International debut in July 2021 and scored his second Test century during the West Indies tour in March 2022. Later in 2022, he achieved the fastest century by an England Test opener, scoring 122 runs from 86 balls against Pakistan. In the 2023 Ashes series, Crawley was England’s top scorer, accumulating 480 runs at an average exceeding 50, including a score of 189 in the fourth Test, solidifying his position as a key player.
