Archie Matthew Vaughan (born 9 December 2005) is an English cricketer who plays for Somerset and the England national under-19 cricket team. He is a right handed batsman and right arm off spin bowler.[1] He made his List A cricket debut on 26 July 2024 in the One-Day Cup against Kent. He is the son of former England Test captain Michael Vaughan.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Born in Sheffield, Vaughan and his sister Tallula are the children of Nichola and Michael Vaughan.[2] He was educated at Millfield where he captained the first-XI cricket team.[3] He played for Baslow CC in Derbyshire before moving on to play for Alderley Edge. He also played age-group cricket for Cheshire.[4]

Career

[edit]

He played for Somerset County Cricket Club at under-15 through to under-18 level, prior to signing for the Somerset Cricket Academy.[5][6] In April 2024, he opened the batting for Somerset second-XI alongside Jack Leach against Yorkshire second-XI at Headingley, scoring 61 runs.[7] In May 2024, he signed a two and-a-half year professional contract with Somerset.[8][9][10][11]

He played for a Young Lions Invitational XI against England U19 at Loughborough in June 2024 and, whilst bowling, took the wicket of Rocky Flintoff, son of his father's former England teammate Andrew.[12] The following week, Vaughan was called-up to the England national under-19 cricket team.[13][14][15][16]

Vaughan made his List A debut for Somerset against Kent at Taunton on 26 July 2024 in the One-Day Cup, but took no wickets and was run out without facing a ball.[17][18][19] He made his first-class debut in that year's County Championship, for Somerset against Durham at Taunton on 29 August,[20] and took his maiden first-class wicket the following day with only his sixth delivery.[21][22]

In just his second first-class appearance on 9–12 September 2024, Vaughan proved the "match-winner" as Somerset "pulled off one of the greatest County Championship victories in their history" by defeating Championship leaders and reigning champions Surrey.[23] Having taken his maiden five-wicket haul in their first innings, he added another five wickets in their second to complete a ten-wicket haul and finish with match figures of 11/140.[23][24]
