About Jonny Bairstow

A right-handed wicket-keeping batsman who plays for Yorkshire, Jonny Bairstow is the son of former England keeper David Bairstow. His introduction to the game was natural and came at an early age, and within no time rich accolades came his way. He was chosen as the winner of the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the year award for his 654 runs in the 2007 season. Soon, he went on to represent Yorkshire's second XI and impressed many with his consistent batting, scoring 308 runs at an average of 61.6 in 2008. This included a 139 not out against Worcestershire at Headingley Carnegie. In October that year, Bairstow signed a full time contract with the county side.A right-handed wicket-keeping batsman who plays for Yorkshire, Jonny Bairstow is the son of former England keeper David Bairstow.
