Biography

edit

Carver had been with Yorkshire since 2009, starting at under 14 level. He went on to play for the Yorkshire Academy in the Yorkshire ECB County Premier League, and the Yorkshire Second XI, the England Under-19 cricket team, as well as appearing in his debut first-class match for Yorkshire. This was against Warwickshire in June 2014.[1]

Carver had only played two County Championship matches by the end of 2015. However, that was sufficient to earn him two Championship-winning medals, as he played a bit-part role in both of Yorkshire's triumphs in 2014 and 2015.[1]

On 23 July 2017, Carver conceded 6 sixes in a single over delivered to Ross Whiteley, which also contained a wide.[3] He left Yorkshire CCC at the end of the 2019 season.
