Early and personal life

Born in Colchester and the younger brother of Essex cricketer Ben Allison, Charlie started playing at the Essex academy at nine years-old.[1] An Essex fan from a young age, Allison had gone viral in 2012 when a video of him playing cricket shots was posted on YouTube and led to praise from his favourite Essex cricketer at the time, Graham Napier.[2] He attended Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, Suffolk.[3]

Career

Allison signed a rookie contract with Essex County Cricket Club in July 2023.[4] He made his List-A cricket debut for Essex on 1 August 2023, against Lancashire in the 2023 One-Day Cup, in a match abandoned due to rain.[5] Allison scored his first half-century for the county when he scored 70 against Middlesex on 12 August 2023.[6] [7] He hit a new top score of 85 on 15 August 2023, against Leicestershire.[8] He was singled out for praise by Essex head coach Anthony McGrath for how he has assimilated into the first team.[9] Allison signed a new two-year contract with Essex in October 2024.[10]
