Key Welsh Fire Players

Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow, the explosive English batsman is one of the most feared openers in the world cricket at the moment. The right hander has the ability to take matches away from the opposition when he gets going and can clear the ropes for fun. He can score runs at a blistering pace and he is one of the most important members in his team.
