Liam Edward Plunkett is an English cricketer and right-arm fast bowler who plays for Surrey Cricket Club. Plunkett was born on April 6, 1985, Nunthorpe, North Yorkshire, England. He rediscovered his pace and turned as bustling fast-medium seamer blessed with an ability to bowl an occasional unplayable ball and a powerful striker down the order. Liam briefly promised to have a long international career only for issues with his control - and, in his final season at Durham in 2012, a loss of confidence in his action - to lower his sights.
He made his first international appearance against Pakistan in Test and One Day International after having a fantastic first-class season for Durham’s during 2005. Plunkett joined Nashua Dolphins during November 2007. Plunkett has best bowling figures as 5/64 in 13 Test matches, 5/52 in 78 One Day Internationals. He has single five wickets haul in Test, ODI, and List A Cricket. He picked up 11 five wickets haul in his first-class career. Liam Plunkett made his IPL debut during IPL season 2018 when he was signed by the Delhi Daredevils.
