David Murphy (born 24 June 1989) is a cricket player who plays for Northamptonshire and Scotland and is primarily a wicket-keeper.
Career
Domestic
He made his first-class debut for Loughborough UCCE in April 2009 and made his county debut with Northants against Surrey two months later.[1] His first One Day game came against the Netherlands the following season, Murphy scoring 31 not out, taking two catches and one stumping.[2] Niall O'Brien, Northamptonshire's established wicket-keeper, underwent finger surgery in July 2010; Murphy was chosen to take over as wicketkeeper in O'Brien's absence.[3]
In October 2012, Murphy signed a new two-year contract in response to Niall O'Brien's impending move to Leicestershire. It was planned that Murphy would become Northants' first choice keeper from the 2013 season.[4] He played 14 first-class matches in that season, but subsequently found opportunities limited by injuries and the presence of Ben Duckett and Adam Rossington, both of whom can keep wicket.[5]
Murphy was on the winning side in the 2013 Twenty20 competition, playing in all of Northants' 13 matches, including the final against Surrey.[6] Hitherto, he has scored just one first class century, 135* against Surrey at The Oval, in September 2015.[7]
International
In September 2012, Murphy was selected by Scotland to be part of a tour group to South Africa in October 2012. Although born in Hertfordshire, Murphy qualifies to play for Scotland by having a Scottish parent.[8] He made his Twenty20 international debut on the 3rd March 2013, against Afghanistan, and his ODI debut three days later against the same opposition.[9] He has played four international T20 matches and 8 ODIs, all of which took place in 2013.
