Luis Reece awarded Testimonial Year for 2027

Luis Reece has been rewarded for his services to Derbyshire County Cricket Club with a Testimonial Year in 2027.

Since joining the Club from Lancashire ahead of the 2017 season, Reece has scored 9,510 all-format runs and claimed 262 wickets, establishing himself as one of Derbyshire’s greatest all-rounders of the 21st century.

Reece was a key member of the Falcons team which reached T20 Blast Finals Day in 2019, while he was the County Championship Division Two’s leading wicket-taker in 2025, with 50.

Chair Ian McFarlane said: “Luis has been a brilliant performer for Derbyshire throughout his time with the Club, his fighting spirit and will to win inspires supporters and teammates alike.

“His record on the field speaks for itself, but it is the manner in which he conducts himself off it which has made Luis such a popular member of the squad among supporters and everyone involved at the Club.”

Reece said: “It’s truly an honour to be offered a Testimonial Year for 2027 and I thank the Club for this opportunity.

“When I joined Derbyshire, I could never have expected what was to come. Over the last ten years I’ve not only found a Club I love, but a community which means so much to me.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to play alongside so many brilliant players and I have made friends for life in that dressing room. I’m always humbled by the support I receive from the Derbyshire fanbase and it means the world to me.

“Next year will be a special one for me and I hope we can make it a special one for Derbyshire too. We all want success for the county and we’ll be doing everything we can to deliver it.”
