Adam Lyth (born 25 September 1987, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England) is an English first-class cricketer, who has played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club since 2007.[1] He is a left-handed opening batsman, and has represented England at youth level.
He made his first-team debut for Yorkshire in a Pro40 match in 2006, and his first-class debut in May 2007, against Loughborough UCCE. He was with the England Under-16 squad to South Africa, and the England U-19 squad to Malaysia and India, and home against Pakistan.
In the 2008 season, he scored 645 runs in the County Championship, won the Yorkshire CCC Young Player of the Year award, and signed a three-year contract with Yorkshire at the end of the season. He was named in England's 2009 winter performance squad as one of the 'C' category players.
In 2010, Lyth became a key member of the Yorkshire team, becoming the first player in the country that year to reach 1,000 runs. On 24 August 2010, Lyth was awarded his county cap on his home ground at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough, before the start of Yorkshire's County Championship match against Hampshire.
