Joe Michael Clarke (born 26 May 1996) is an English cricketer who plays for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.[1] He is a right-handed batsman who also plays as a wicket-keeper. He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Hampshire in May 2015. He was educated at Llanfyllin High School. [2] Following Worcestershire’s relegation to Division Two of the County Championship in 2018, he joined Nottinghamshire on a four year deal.[3]

In 2017, Clarke was included in an England Lions squad that toured Australia, scoring 45 against a CA XI in Perth. However, in May 2019, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) withdrew Clarke from the Lions' squad, after being named during Alex Hepburn's rape trial.[4] Hepburn was found guilty of rape, and although the judge said that Clarke "did nothing wrong" on the night of the attack,[4] the ECB were concerned about the disrespectful messages about women that had been exchanged.[4]

On the 21 June 2019, the English Cricket Board charged Joe Clarke and Tom Kohler-Cadmore with bringing the game into disrepute in relation to their participation in the group actions which saw Alex Hepburn found guilty of rape.[5] On the 4 July 2019, both players pleaded guilty to the charge and were reprimanded and fined.[6]
