Adam Paul Rouse (born 30 June 1992) was a Zimbabwean-born English cricketer. Rouse is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper, though is versatile enough to play solely as a specialist batsman.[1]
Born in the Zimbabwean capital Harare,[2] Rouse moved to England when he was ten years old.[1] Two years later, he became the youngest person to make a century in an adult league match at the age of twelve.[1] Impressing during his teens in club cricket,[2] Rouse was talent spotted by Hampshire, entering the county's academy and first playing for their second XI in 2008.[3] In 2010, Rouse played two Youth Test matches for England's against Sri Lanka Under-19s,[4] as well as five Youth One Day Internationals against the same opposition.[5] In 2011, Rouse became the youngest English substitute fielder to take a catch during a Test match, when Rouse came on for the injured Stuart Broad and caught Kumar Sangakkara off the bowling of James Anderson, in what was the Rose Bowl's first hosting of a Test match.[6] Later in the year, Rouse had his development contract renewed.[7]
Rouse captained the Hampshire Second XI for the majority of the 2012 season,[1] while the following season he made his senior debut for the county as a replacement for the injured Neil McKenzie in a first-class match against Kent in the 2013 County Championship at Canterbury.[2][8] He scored 9 runs in Hampshire's first-innings, before being dismissed by Darren Stevens. He made his debut in List A cricket in that same season against a touring Bangladesh A team.[9] In a match which Hampshire won by 9 runs, Rouse scored 7 runs before he was dismissed leg before by Sohag Gazi.[10] With Adam Wheater and Michael Bates ahead of him in wicket-keeping duties, Rouse made no further appearances for Hampshire and was released at the end of the 2013 season, joining Gloucestershire for 2014.[11]
