Liam Connor Norwell (born 27 December 1991) is a former English cricketer who last played for Warwickshire. A right-handed batsman and right-hand medium pace bowler he made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire against Derbyshire in April 2011. Norwell signed a new two-year contract for Gloucestershire in 2013.

County career

Born in Bournemouth, Dorset, Norwell made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in April 2011 against Derbyshire as a 19-year-old. In the first innings Norwell made 19 runs before being run out by Tim Groenewald helping Gloucestershire to 343. In the Derbyshire first innings, Norwell produced an impressive display bowling 11 overs taking 6 wickets for just 46 runs as he helped bowl Derbyshire out for just 157. This remains to this day his best first-class bowling performance. In the second innings Norwell managed 1 wicket, that of Wayne Madsen to take match figures of 7–112 as Gloucestershire won by 7 wickets.[1][2] Norwell followed up this performance with an appearance in the following first-class game against Glamorgan. Norwell took 2 wickets for 49 runs in the first innings helping bowl out Glamorgan for 202. He scored 11 not out in the reply and was wicketless in the second as Gloucestershire lost by 189 runs.[3] Norwell then appeared for Gloucestershire in a drawn match against Middlesex. He opened the bowling in the Middlesex innings along with captain Jon Lewis and took 3 wickets for 102 runs, dismissing Middlesex for 406.[4]

Norwell was hit by injuries in 2013, but coach John Bracewell saw enough for Norwell to be offered a new contract, which he signed through to the end of the 2015 season.[5]

Having moved to Warwickshire in 2018, Norwell took 9/62 in the second innings against Hampshire at Edgbaston on the final day of the 2022 County Championship season to help his club win by five runs and avoid relegation from Division One.[6][7] A series of injuries meant he did not play another first-team match for Warwickshire and he left the club in August 2024.[8][9]

On 12 November 2024, he was retired from professional cricket at the age of 32, due to failing to recover from a series of long-standing injuries.[10]
