Richard Gleeson is an England bowler who operates as a right-arm fast-medium pace bowler. A right-handed batter, he has appeared in ODI cricket for England, accumulating 58 runs across his appearances in that format.
Gleeson's career has been built on his pace bowling credentials, bringing express pace to England's attack. His role within the team reflects the modern demands placed on fast bowlers in international cricket, where the ability to operate across multiple formats and adapt to varying conditions remains essential.
His ODI record shows limited batting opportunities, consistent with the specialist bowler role he occupies in the England setup. The nature of his selection and deployment underscores the value placed on his bowling skills rather than his contribution with the bat, a common pattern for pace bowlers in contemporary international cricket.
Gleeson represents part of England's broader fast-bowling stocks, a pool from which the selectors draw when constructing squads for one-day and Test competition.
