Ben Alexander "Ben" Wylie (born 24 April 1994) is a cricketer from Northern Ireland who has played at first-class level for Cambridge University. He debuted for them during the 2013 English season, having earlier played for the Ireland national under-19 side.
Born in Belfast, Wylie played under-13, under-15, and under-17 matches for Irish representative sides, and was playing senior club cricket for Instonians at an early age.[1] A left-arm orthodox spinner, he was selected in Ireland's squad for the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, and played a single match, taking 2/24 from five overs in Ireland's loss to Scotland in the 11th-place playoff.[2] A student of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge, Wylie regularly played for Cambridge University during the 2013 season, and made his first-class debut in April 2013, in a three-day match against Middlesex. He scored 29 not out batting seventh in the game's second innings, which is his highest first-class score to date.[3] Wylie played in The University Match against Oxford University in both 2013 and 2014.[4] Oxford captain Sam Agarwal scored 313 not out from 312 balls in the 2013 fixture, the first triple-century in any Cambridge–Oxford match, with Wylie finishing with figures of 1/111 from 23 overs.[5]
