Career

edit

Bairstow started his career within the Worcestershire Second XI, before moving to Derbyshire, and it was a surprise when the Peakites, without the relative experience of Karl Krikken and defensive technique of Steve Griffiths, called upon the young Bairstow as their cover man. Following an inconspicuous First-class career, Bairstow made a few further appearances for the Derbyshire Second XI before leaving the professional game.[citation needed] In total, he played in three first-class matches.[1] He has played club cricket in the Bradford Premier League for Undercliffe, Cleckheaton, East Bierley and Pudsey Congs. He retired from club cricket in 2016.[2]

Family

edit

Bairstow's father, David, was a former Test cricketer for England, and his younger half-brother Jonny is currently a wicket-keeper and batsman for both Yorkshire and England.
