Daniel Weston (born 11 March 1983) is a German cricketer.[1] Born in Perth, Western Australia,[1] he initially played cricket for that State alongside better-known players such as Shaun Marsh.[2]

In 2004, he founded Westware Computers Pty Ltd, which built and supplied computer hardware and services to the education and corporate sector.[3] He sold that business at the age of 23 before moving to Europe.[2] In 2013, he founded the Aimed Global Alpha global macro hedge fund,[3] domiciled in Luxembourg.[4] In 2016, he founded German Cricket TV, an online video channel for supporting and promoting cricket in Germany.[2] [5] [6]

He was named in Germany's squad for the 2017 ICC World Cricket League Division Five tournament in South Africa.[7] He played in Germany's opening fixture, against Ghana, on 3 September 2017.[8]

In August, 2018,[9] Weston founded the European Cricket League,[2] [10] as the basis for the Champions League of Cricket in Europe.[11] In September 2018, he was the leading run-scorer for Germany in Group A of the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier tournament.[12] He was also named the player of the series,[13] after scoring 180 runs, including three fifties, in five matches.[12]

In May 2019, he was named in Germany's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their three-match series against Belgium. The matches were the first T20Is to be played by the German cricket team.[14] He made his T20I debut for Germany against Belgium on 11 May 2019.[15] Later the same month, he was named in Germany's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament in Guernsey.[16] [17] However, during the tournament, he broke a finger and was replaced by Michael Richardson in Germany's squad.[18] [19]
