Biography
Having come through the Yorkshire age-group system,[2] Kohler-Cadmore left to complete his education at Malvern College where he was named 2014 Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year.[3] After leaving Malvern College, Kohler-Cadmore made his debut for Worcestershire in August 2013 against a touring Bangladesh A side.[4] On 20 May 2016, at the age of 21, Kohler-Cadmore scored 127 runs from 54 balls for Worcestershire against Durham in the 2016 NatWest t20 Blast. It was the highest individual total for a Worcestershire player in a Twenty20 match.[5]
In June 2017, Yorkshire announced that Kohler-Cadmore had signed a contract of an undisclosed length to rejoin them ahead of the 2018 season.[6] On 8 June 2017, Worcestershire announced that they had mutually agreed to terminate his contract to allow him to immediately join Yorkshire.[7] He had been left out of the previous match.
In May 2019, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) withdrew Kohler-Cadmore from the England Lions' squad, after being named during Alex Hepburn's rape trial.[8] Hepburn was found guilty of rape, and although the judge said that Kohler-Cadmore "did nothing wrong",[8] the ECB were concerned about the disrespectful messages about women that had been exchanged.[8]
On 29 May 2020, Kohler-Cadmore was named in a 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10]
