Career story

Tom Kohler-Cadmore career and playing journey

Who is Tom Kohler-Cadmore?

Tom Kohler-Cadmore is a professional English batter who represents Somerset in county cricket and has also played in major short-format competitions in England and overseas. He normally bats in the top order, attacks pace and spin from the start of an innings, and can take the wicketkeeping gloves when his side needs that option. Somerset lists him as a batter, which best reflects the main skill around which his teams select him.

His full name is Tom Kohler-Cadmore. He was born in Chatham, Kent, but developed through Yorkshire's age-group pathway before finishing his education at Malvern College. That route helps explain why his senior career began with Worcestershire rather than a Kent county side. He later returned to Yorkshire, moved to Somerset for the 2023 season and built a broader franchise career alongside his English domestic commitments.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore career statistics by format

At the 15 August 2026 statistical cutoff, Kohler-Cadmore had played 109 first-class matches and scored 5,682 runs at 33.62. His first-class record contained 14 hundreds, 24 fifties and a highest score of 176. In List A cricket he had 1,808 runs from 56 matches at 34.11, including three centuries, ten fifties and a top score of 164. Those figures describe different match formats and should be read separately rather than combined.

His T20 record stood at 283 matches, 6,882 runs, an average of 27.63, one century and 46 half-centuries. The 127 remains his highest T20 score. The catches and stumpings column—146 catches and five stumpings—also shows that his fielding record includes both outfield and wicketkeeping work. These are overall format totals, so innings for Somerset, Yorkshire, Worcestershire and franchise teams are already included in the relevant line.

How did Tom Kohler-Cadmore reach 127 from 54 balls?

Kohler-Cadmore made his only T20 hundred on 20 May 2016, scoring 127 from 54 balls for Worcestershire against Durham at New Road. He reached fifty from 21 deliveries and finished with 14 fours and eight sixes. Worcestershire made 225 for six, then restricted Durham to 187 for eight to win by 38 runs. The innings was therefore both a personal record and the foundation of a completed team victory.

The 127 was reported as Worcestershire's highest individual T20 score at the time. It remains the top score in Kohler-Cadmore's overall T20 career table at the 15 August 2026 cutoff. The boundary count accounts for 104 of his 127 runs, illustrating the power of the innings without suggesting that every later T20 knock followed the same pattern. A single explosive century and a long career aggregate answer different questions about peak and sustained output.

What is Tom Kohler-Cadmore's role for Somerset?

Somerset uses Kohler-Cadmore as a multi-format top-order batter. When the club announced his contract extension in 2025, it recorded 1,432 Vitality Blast runs from 50 Somerset appearances at 31.82, with a best of 90. The same announcement listed 1,398 first-class runs from 22 matches for the county at 39.94, including a top score of 147 not out. Those Somerset-only numbers sit inside, rather than beside, his wider career totals.

The club also identified his career T20 strike rate as 140.33 at the time of the extension. Strike rate measures scoring speed, while average measures runs per dismissal, so neither number should replace the other. His ability to keep wicket provides lineup flexibility, but his principal value remains top-order run scoring. Team sheets and scorecards determine whether he keeps in a particular match; the general role label does not prove that he wore the gloves every time.

How long is Tom Kohler-Cadmore's Somerset contract?

Tom Kohler-Cadmore signed a Somerset multi-format contract extension that keeps him at the club through at least the end of the 2027 season. The phrase “at least” matters: it is the club's wording and leaves open the possibility of a later extension, while establishing 2027 as the confirmed minimum endpoint. The agreement covers more than one format and is not merely a short-term Vitality Blast registration.

Kohler-Cadmore originally joined Somerset before the 2023 season. By the time of the extension, he had helped the county win the 2023 and 2025 Vitality Blast titles. Contract status confirms his continuing club relationship, but it does not guarantee selection or fitness for every fixture. Current match availability must still come from Somerset's squad announcements, injury updates and official scorecards.

Did Tom Kohler-Cadmore play for England?

Kohler-Cadmore was added to England's senior ODI squad for the three-match series against Ireland in September 2023. The ECB said he would join the group in Nottingham after Somerset's County Championship match against Kent. It was his first senior ODI squad call-up, an important selection milestone after earlier England Lions involvement and inclusion in England's 55-player return-to-training group in 2020.

The senior ODI squad selection did not become an international cap: Kohler-Cadmore did not play in that Ireland series, and his statistics through 15 August 2026 still contain no Test, ODI or T20I row. A squad place shows that selectors chose him as cover or an option; only appearance in the playing XI establishes a cap. Calling him an England international would therefore overstate what happened.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore age, date of birth and birthplace

Tom Kohler-Cadmore was born on 19 August 1994 in Chatham, Kent, England. He was 31 on 16 August 2026 and was due to turn 32 three days later. Stating the date alongside the age avoids a common biography problem: the birth date is fixed, while the displayed age becomes outdated after each birthday.

Although born in Kent, Kohler-Cadmore came through Yorkshire's age-group structure and later attended Malvern College. He was named the 2014 Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year after a record school season. His place of birth, development pathway and senior county representation are separate facts; playing for Worcestershire, Yorkshire or Somerset does not change the place recorded on his birth details.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore batting style, bowling style and role

Kohler-Cadmore bats right-handed and bowls right-arm off break. His established professional role is batter rather than all-rounder because batting supplies the substantial part of his senior record. The off-break description identifies a bowling method, not a claim that teams regularly select him for bowling. His occasional wicketkeeping gives captains another option when constructing a short-format lineup.

He is most closely associated with top-order white-ball batting. The 127 from 54 balls shows his ceiling as a power hitter, while his Somerset contract announcement provides a more recent club sample across both Blast and first-class cricket. Readers should use the format table for career volume, the Somerset figures for county-specific output and individual scorecards for match roles such as opening, keeping wicket or fielding in the outfield.

When did Tom Kohler-Cadmore make his senior debuts?

Kohler-Cadmore's recorded List A debut came first, for Worcestershire against Bangladesh A at Kidderminster on 16 August 2013. He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Hampshire on 6 April 2014. His breakthrough T20 hundred followed in May 2016, giving his early career a clear progression from county entry to a record short-format innings.

He moved from Worcestershire to Yorkshire during the 2017 season, remained with Yorkshire through 2022 and joined Somerset ahead of 2023. The sequence is important because performances belong to the club and competition in which they occurred: the 127 was a Worcestershire innings, while the 2023 and 2025 Blast titles were Somerset achievements. A later team cannot be retroactively attached to an earlier record.

What are Tom Kohler-Cadmore's main batting records?

His headline T20 record is the 127 from 54 balls against Durham in 2016, then Worcestershire's highest individual score in the format. His overall table contains one T20 hundred, so that innings is also the century represented in the 1/46 hundreds-and-fifties line. Counting it again outside the total would duplicate the same performance.

Kohler-Cadmore's first-class high score is 176, while his List A best is 164. Those innings occurred under different playing conditions and belong in separate statistical categories. He also scored 96 from 39 balls in the Abu Dhabi T10 in 2021, reported as the competition's highest individual T10 score at the time. T10 is not the same format bucket as the T20 table shown here, even though both reward rapid scoring.

Which teams has Tom Kohler-Cadmore represented?

In English county cricket, Kohler-Cadmore has represented Worcestershire, Yorkshire and Somerset. His short-format career has also included Quetta Gladiators, Peshawar Zalmi, Jaffna Kings, Trent Rockets, Rangpur Riders, Sydney Thunder, Sharjah Warriorz, Rajasthan Royals and Welsh Fire. The dates and availability vary by competition, so a historical team entry should not be read as a current contract with every club on the list.

Somerset is his confirmed long-term county side through at least 2027. Welsh Fire selected him for the 2026 Hundred season, while Sharjah Warriorz named him in their Season 4 squad. A squad listing confirms registration or selection at that point; it does not prove an appearance. Match-by-match totals must come from scorecards, especially when overlapping competitions, injury or overseas-player limits affect availability.

What was Tom Kohler-Cadmore's Hundred 2026 price?

The Hundred's 2026 player information placed Kohler-Cadmore with Welsh Fire. The official auction registered-player document listed him at a £75,000 reserve price, while later competition squad material must be used to establish the final team and any published signing value. A reserve, auction price or salary band has a narrow competition meaning and should always retain its season and currency.

That public competition figure does not establish take-home pay, total annual earnings or net worth. Somerset's multi-format contract terms beyond its duration were not disclosed in the club announcement, and overseas franchise arrangements may have different structures. No audited source reviewed for this profile provides a reliable personal-wealth total, so speculative biography-site estimates are excluded rather than converted into fact.

How did Tom Kohler-Cadmore develop as a cricketer?

Kohler-Cadmore began in Yorkshire's age-group system before moving to Malvern College. Worcestershire's coverage of his 2014 school award described a season in which he set school run-scoring records, and senior opportunities soon followed. His List A debut against Bangladesh A in August 2013 preceded his first-class debut in April 2014, showing that his professional introduction was not confined to one format.

His early Worcestershire period produced the 2016 T20 record hundred. He then rejoined Yorkshire in 2017, expanded his experience through England Lions and franchise cricket, and moved to Somerset for 2023. The pathway was therefore neither a straight rise through one county nor a franchise-only route: school cricket, county development, multi-format domestic cricket and overseas short-format tournaments each formed a distinct stage.

What has Tom Kohler-Cadmore won with Somerset?

Kohler-Cadmore was part of Somerset's Vitality Blast title-winning squads in 2023 and 2025. In the 2023 final against Essex, he contributed a notable one-handed boundary catch to dismiss Daniel Sams as Somerset defended their total. The catch is a specific fielding contribution within the final, while the trophy belongs to the team's completed campaign.

Somerset's contract announcement credits him with a crucial role in both title seasons and supplies the club-specific batting figures that preceded his extension. Those details provide stronger context than simply listing two trophies. They show that Somerset retained a multi-format player who had produced across a 50-match Blast sample and 22 first-class appearances for the county, while avoiding the false implication that a team title is an individual statistical award.

What happened to Tom Kohler-Cadmore's left thumb?

Kohler-Cadmore injured his left thumb while taking a slip catch on the first morning of Somerset's 2026 County Championship match against Essex. Somerset said the initial assessment found a significant reduction in hand function, so the club used an injury substitute. Further assessment confirmed a fracture, and he entered rehabilitation with Somerset's sport science and medical staff.

The official update established the injury, the hand affected and the immediate rehabilitation plan, but it did not publish a definite return date. It would therefore be inaccurate to infer availability from the contract, squad lists or an earlier fixture schedule. A later Somerset medical or team update is needed before describing him as fit again; absence of a new update does not justify guessing either recovery or continued unavailability.

How should Tom Kohler-Cadmore's 2026 record be read?

The career table is a dated snapshot through 15 August 2026, not a live score feed. The 283 T20 matches and 6,882 runs can change with his next recognised appearance, while completed events such as the 2016 record hundred and Somerset's two Blast titles remain historical facts. Readers comparing another database should first check whether it has a later cutoff and uses the same format definitions.

The Somerset contract figures are also scoped to his county record at the date of the club's announcement. They should not be added to the wider career rows because those matches and runs are already included. Similarly, an England squad call-up belongs in selection history but adds no match or cap. Keeping the scope explicit prevents three common errors: double counting, mixing dates and treating selection as an appearance.

How has franchise cricket shaped his career?

Kohler-Cadmore has used franchise competitions to add experience outside the English county season. His teams have included clubs in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia, India and the United Arab Emirates, as well as The Hundred in England and Wales. The 96 from 39 balls in the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 is a useful example of how his attacking style translated to an even shorter format.

Franchise participation can change quickly because squads are season-specific, overseas places are limited and schedules overlap. A player can be registered by a team without appearing, and a past team entry does not prove a current deal. For 2026, the strongest long-term anchor is Somerset's contract through 2027; Welsh Fire and Sharjah Warriorz provide separate competition context tied to their named seasons.

What does his wicketkeeping record show?

The format table records 144 catches and one stumping in first-class cricket, 29 catches in List A cricket, and 146 catches plus five stumpings in T20s through 15 August 2026. These are dismissal totals within each format, not a count of matches spent as the designated wicketkeeper. Many catches can be taken as an outfielder, and the small number of stumpings reflects more limited use behind the wicket.

ECB coverage of the 2025 Blast noted a rare keeping appearance against Surrey in which he completed two stumpings. That match-specific detail supports the description “can keep wicket” without making him a full-time keeper. Somerset and The Hundred generally list him primarily as a batter. The distinction matters when comparing him with specialist wicketkeepers whose selection and career records are built around regular work with the gloves.

What are the key takeaways from his career so far?

Kohler-Cadmore's career combines an early county breakthrough, sustained T20 volume and a later period of team success with Somerset. The 127 from 54 balls remains his clearest single-innings record, while 6,882 T20 runs from 283 matches show the much larger body of work around it. His first-class high of 176 and List A high of 164 also demonstrate that his record is not limited to the shortest formats.

His 2023 England ODI selection was recognition at senior squad level but not an international debut. His Somerset extension through 2027 gives the clearest current club commitment, while his left-thumb fracture shows why availability must be checked separately from contract status. Together, those details answer the central reader questions—who he is, how he plays, what he has achieved and where his career stood at the stated cutoff—without turning uncertain future events into facts.
