Luis Michael Reece (born 4 August 1990) is an English cricketer who plays for Derbyshire. He is a left-handed batsman who bowls left-arm medium pace. He previously played for Lancashire before joining Derbyshire ahead of the 2017 season.

Early life[]

Luis Reece was born in Taunton, Somerset and educated at St. Michael's CE High School and Myerscough College, both in Lancashire.

Career[]

Reece played for the Lancashire Second XI in 2008–2009. He played non-first-class cricket for Leeds/Bradford UCCE in 2011.[1] He then made his List A debut for the Unicorns in the 2011 Clydesdale Bank 40 against Lancashire, and made eight further List A appearances for the Unicorns in the 2011 season,[2] taking a total of 5 wickets at an average of 34.40, with best figures of 4/35.[3] He also scored a total of 115 runs in these matches, which came at a batting average of 23.00, with a high score of 26.[4] In 2012 he played 11 games for the Unicorns, scoring 233 runs at 25.88 but taking only one wicket.

When Leeds/Bradford MCCU played their first first-class matches in 2012 he scored 134 runs at 33.50 and took 5 wickets at 24.00. He captained the team in 2013, scoring 155 runs at 51.66 and taking 7 wickets at 24.14. In the match against Leicestershire, which Leeds/Bradford MCCU won by 102 runs, he scored 114 not out.[5]

He made his County Championship debut for Lancashire against Essex in June 2013, playing as an opening batsman.[6] In ten matches he made 722 runs at 55.53 with eight fifties.

Derbyshire signed Reece from Lancashire on a two-year contract in October 2016.[7] In June 2017, he was hospitalised after suffering breathing difficulties during a Championship match against Northamptonshire.[8] After scoring 1180 runs in all formats during his first season with Derbyshire, Reece signed a new three-year contract with the county.[9]

Reece was selected to play for Chittagong Vikings in the 2017-18 Bangladesh Premier League.[10]

At the conclusion of the 2018 season which was much taken up by a foot injury that kept Reece out for over 3 months, he signed a further one-year deal to keep him at Derbyshire until at least 2021. His credentials were enhanced by the surprising bowling of 7-20 in an end-of-season championship match against Gloucestershire, giving rise to hopes that he can be considered a genuine all-rounder. In October 2019, Reece signed a new contract with Derbyshire until the end of the 2023 season.[11] The following month, he was selected to play for the Dhaka Platoon in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.[12]
