County career
[edit]Born 21 May 1989, Chertsey, Surrey, England, Young made his debut for Oxford UCCE in a 3-day match against Worcestershire. The game was affected by rain with no play on day one. Due to the weather Young bowled only 3 overs for 22 runs and was 0 not out from one ball in a drawn match.[3] Young made his highest first-class score of 133 runs from 179 balls against Lancashire in April 2011.[4] In April 2011 Young scored 80 runs from 111 balls for Oxford against Nottinghamshire in a drawn match, he also took one wicket in the match that of Andy Carter.[5] In late May 2011, Young played for Gloucestershire in a first-class match against Essex. He scored 51 not out in 126 balls in a drawn match at Bristol.[6] In June 2011, Young took 2 wickets for 32 runs in his 4 overs in a Twenty20 loss against Essex.[7] Young also starred with the ball in a Twenty20 match against Hampshire in June 2011. He conceded only 14 runs and took 2 wickets in his maximum 4 overs in a 9 run loss.[8]
In the winter of 2011, Young was part of Darren Lehmann's cricket academy in Adelaide. He returned from this experience to take a more active part in the County Championship during the 2012 season.[9]
Young played in just one County Championship game in 2013 and was consequently released by Gloucestershire on 8 October 2013.[10]
