Matt Carter (cricketer)

Matthew Carter (born 26 May 1996) is an English professional cricketer who spent nine seasons at Nottinghamshire and has also played for Trent Rockets.

Career
Off-spin bowler Carter took figures of 10/195, including 7/56 in the first-innings, on his first-class cricket debut for Nottinghamshire against Somerset on a turning pitch in June 2015. "'from a tall classical action with flight, bite and composure, Carter returned the best figures by a spin bowler on Championship debut since Leicestershire's Jack Walsh claimed 7 for 46 against Northamptonshire in 1938'"

He made his List A debut for Nottinghamshire in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup on 27 May 2018 and his first Twenty20 appearance for the club in the 2018 t20 Blast on 17 August 2018. He was drafted by Trent Rockets for the inaugural season of The Hundred. In April 2022, he was bought by the Trent Rockets for the 2022 season of The Hundred.

On 22 May 2024, Nottinghamshire announced that Carter, who has signed a new one-year contract at the end of the 2023 season, had left the club by mutual consent.

Personal life
Carter's older brother Andy played first-class cricket for several county sides including Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
