Asa Tribe: In-form Jersey batter agrees new Glamorgan contract

Tribe made his senior Glamorgan debut in 2024, making two County Championship half-centuries and featuring in the side which won the One Day Cup.

He was not selected for the first three Championship matches this year but forced his way into the side thanks to his high scores in the second XI.

He has since played every match in all three formats, with his first Glamorgan century coming in the Championship at Leicestershire in June.

Tribe registered his first double century against Northamptonshire on Tuesday after forcing his way into the red ball side as an opening batter.

That landmark innings came after two unbeaten centuries in Glamorgan’s last two games of this year’s One Day Cup, plus innings of 175 and 53 not out for Jersey in between county commitments.

Tribe has played five One Day internationals and 26 T20 internationals.

“We always saw him as a top-order batter, his ability, his technique and his mindset does align to being a top-order batsman,” Wallace added.

“He’s confident without being arrogant, he backs his ability, so he bats high up for us in in multi-day cricket.

“But in T20 cricket we’ve batted him a little bit lower down, he’s batted at sort of five and six, which is a different and difficult role in itself where you have to score quite quickly and you have to be able to to clear the boundaries.

“So he’s improving his skill sets in different areas, he’s not just pigeonholing himself as a high-order batter.

“He’ll probably end up going a bit higher in T20 for us next year, but across the formats he’s shown some real ability.”
