Benny Alexander Cameron Howell is a cricketer who plays for England at the first-class level. He was born on October 5th, 1988. For Hampshire, Howell bats right-handed and bowls right-arm medium-fast. He is a member of the Hampshire team. Howell made his debut with the Hampshire first team in August of 2010, with a match against Leicestershire in the Clydesdale Bank 40. Before that, he had spent many seasons playing for the Hampshire Second XI. The return match, which took place at Grace Road in Leicester, was his second match in the List A competition.
Even though Howell did not participate in the game, Hampshire was victorious in the Friends Provident Twenty20 in 2010. Under normal circumstances, Hampshire and Somerset, who finished in second place, would have been eligible to participate in the Champions League Twenty20 in 2010. Despite this, Hampshire was unable to participate in the event since it coincided with the conclusion of the English domestic season. Hampshire, on the other hand, was given a spot in the Caribbean Twenty20 in 2011, with Somerset.
It was during this competition that Howell made his debut in the Twenty20 format, namely during Hampshire’s group match against Canada and Hampshire. Throughout the tournament, he participated in all of Hampshire’s matches, including the championship match against Trinidad and Tobago, which Hampshire ultimately didn’t win. During the 2011 English domestic season, Howell became a regular member of Hampshire CCCC limited-overs teams, mostly in List A cricket. In addition, he participated in just under half of Hampshire’s group matches in the 2011 Friends Provident Twenty20 tournament.
In the first match of the 2011 Clydesdale Bank 40, which Hampshire played against Surrey, he had a slow start. However, in the second match of the tournament, which Hampshire played after that, he scored 66 runs and scored his first half-century. It was two games later that he made his first century, which he accomplished against Surrey at The Oval. He made a lightning-fast 122 off of 113 balls. After the one-day season, Howell was Hampshire’s leading run scorer. After this match, he immediately made his debut in the first-class competition against Lancashire at the Rose Bowl, which was part of the County Championship matches.

Howell extended his fine form from the previous limited overs match by scoring 71 in the second innings of the Hampshire County Cricket Club match. This came after Howell was forced to follow on from their first innings, during which he was removed by Kyle Hogg for a three-ball duck. This was his sole appearance in the first-class category during that season. The season that Hampshire had was marked by difficulty; nevertheless, Howell’s season evened out when he had a solid run of form.
In the Clydesdale Bank 40, he only managed to score one more half-century, which was against Northamptonshire. With the few Twenty20 matches he played, he only had a limited amount of success. Following the conclusion of the 2011 season, Howell announced in November that he was exploring options outside of Hampshire. He expressed a desire to locate a county where he could be guaranteed regular appearances in four-day cricket.
During the winter months in England, he was a member of the Essendon Cricket Club, which competed in the Victorian Premier League. He played cricket in Melbourne, Australia, which is located near to where his parents reside. In January of 2012, he decided to leave Hampshire. After striking a double hundred for the two’s two days previous to his call-up, he was called up to make his debut in a first-class match against Kent in the County Championship. This was after he had joined Gloucestershire at the beginning of the 2012 season.
He has gotten off to a terrific start in Gloucestershire’s CB40 campaign, with scores of 72(51) against The Netherlands, 45*(48) against Middlesex, and 89(93) against Northants. His early performances have been impressive. During the trial phase at Gloucestershire, he showed remarkable performance, which resulted in him signing a deal with the club for two years in July 2012. After participating in all of Gloucestershire’s County Championship matches and the bulk of their limited-over games, Howell chose to extend his contract for another two years on October 15, 2013.

The essential role that Howell plays as Gloucestershire’s primary all-rounder has allowed him to maintain his position as one of the most important players in the program. At the beginning of July 2015, Howell tied the wedding, and ever since then, he has been in extraordinary form for Gloucestershire. Through his performance in a Twenty20 encounter, he became the first player in Gloucestershire’s history to achieve a two-wicket maiden. Even though he was the man of the match and scored the winning runs, he was able to accomplish this feat against his previous side, Hampshire County Cricket side.
Howell wanted to re-sign with Hampshire, but at the end of July, he extended his contract with Gloucestershire for a further two years. Hampshire has made such attempts. In addition, Howell scored his first-ever hundred in a first-class match against Leicestershire held at Cheltenham, just after he tied the knot. Benny Howell completed the Natwest Twenty20 Blast in 2016 with more wickets taken than any other player. He received a prize in the form of a new contract with Gloucestershire that was for three years. Several major Twenty20 events have taken notice of him as a result of his continuous success in Twenty20.
