Hard-hitting wicket-keeping batsman Tom Banton fared well for Somerset during his stints in the T20 blast. Getting down the track to pacers, lap and reverse lap shots are some of the audacious shots that make him identical to Jos Buttler. Banton has been rated highly by English cricket pundits for his stroke-making abilities, and the fact that he is a good wicket-keeper adds another dimension in his favour.
Hailing from Buckinghamshire, Banton is a product of the U19 World Cup, having captained the English side in the 2018 edition. He announced himself on the world stage with a couple of dazzling knocks in the U19 tournament. The following summer, the youngster was picked by Somerset for the T20 Blast and made his List-A & Championship debuts in 2018.
The 2019 season was a revelation for the hard-hitting who worked on his batting technique under the wise mentorship of Marcus Trescothick. Those minor modifications helped Banton to score 454 runs during his county’s Royal London winning campaign. Later that season, the dasher stockpiled 549 more in the Vitality Blast, which led to an England call-up for Banton at the end of the season.
Tom Banton T20I Career
The wicket-keeper batsman Tom Banton made his T20 debut for England on November 5, 2019, against New Zealand. The then-21-year-old Banton achieved his maiden T20I fifty against Pakistan on August 28, 2020, at Old Trafford, hitting a 42-ball 71 (including four fours and five sixes).
From 2020 to 2025, Banton played only 11 T20Is, managing only 2 fifties. The wicket-keeper batter was recalled for England to play the T20I series against the West Indies in 2025.
Banton was included in England’s squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup. He scored his maiden T20 World Cup fifty, an unbeaten 63 off 41 balls, to guide England to a five-wicket victory against Scotland.
Tom Banton ODI Career

On May 29, 2020, Banton was included in the 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 Pandemic. He was further named in England’s 24-man squad for the Ireland match, played behind closed doors.
