Michael David Tudor Roberts (born 13 March 1989) is an English cricketer.
Roberts was born at Oxford in March 1989. He was educated at The Oratory School,[1] before matriculating to the University of Bath.[2] Roberts made his debut in minor counties cricket for Berkshire against Dorset in the 2006 Minor Counties Championship.[3] His first spell in minor counties cricket with Berkshire lasted until 2012, with him making fourteen appearances in the Minor Counties Championship and seven in the MCCA Knockout Trophy.[3] [4] While playing for Berkshire in the 2011 Minor Counties Championship against Herefordshire, Roberts made a double century with a score of 205, sharing in a partnership of 371 for the first wicket with Jono McLean (210); their partnership of 371 remains as of the highest ever for Berkshire.[5]
During this time he also played Second XI cricket for both Middlesex and Hampshire.[6] In 2012, he was selected to play for the Unicorns in the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40, making his List A debut in the competition against Derbyshire. Opening the batting for the Unicorns, Roberts made 4 runs before he was dismissed by Tim Groenewald.
On 4 October 2012 Roberts was offered a full contract by Hampshire after excelling in the Second XI team during the 2012 season scoring 610 runs at an average of 58.10. He made his first-class debut for the county the following season against Loughborough MCCU.[7]
