Dominic Bess is an England off-break bowler who bats right-handed. A right-arm spinner, he has appeared in 50 ODI matches for England, accumulating 3,115 runs with the bat across that format.
Bess came through the English domestic system and has represented Somerset in county cricket. His selection for England reflected the national team's investment in developing spin bowling options for one-day cricket.
As a bowler, Bess operates in the traditional off-break mould, turning the ball away from right-handed batsmen. His role in the England setup has been shaped by competition for places in the spin department, a position that has seen considerable rotation across the period of his international career.
His batting record in ODIs shows he has contributed runs at lower-middle order level, a useful secondary skill for a specialist bowler in the format. The combination of his bowling and batting ability has made him a squad option for England across various phases of one-day cricket.
