With just a few weeks left in the 2025 ECB Premier League season, the numbers tell a story of batters turning summer into a personal highlight reel and bowlers wrecking scorebooks up and down the country. The final stretch is here, but the leading names have already written themselves into club cricket folklore.
The Batting Heavyweights
Adam Jones (Sudbury CC, East Anglian League) has been relentless, piling up 1,369 runs at an average of 97.79. He’s been the engine of Sudbury’s campaign, striking at over 80 while showing consistency that borders on ridiculous. Breathing down his neck is Priyanshu Khanduri (Scunthorpe Town, Lincolnshire) with 1,362 runs at a scarcely believable average of 136.20. One mistake, and bowlers are paying dearly.
Behind them, Avishka Tharindu (Bracebridge Heath, Lincolnshire) has motored past 1,100 runs at a strike rate of 122.56 — runs scored at speed and plenty of them. Sam Evans (Leicester Ivanhoe, Leicestershire & Rutland) isn’t far behind either, topping 1,100 runs with a triple-figure average. With 12 players now past 1,000 runs it’s been a season of run gluts across the leagues.

Bowlers Running the Show
If you’re facing Mayank Mishra (Cleethorpes, Yorkshire South) in September, good luck. With 64 wickets at 11.28 apiece, he’s not just leading the wicket charts, he’s redefining them. His economy of exactly 3.00 is almost unfair.
Chasing him hard is Khalid Usman (Rainhill, Liverpool & District) with 59 wickets, showing endurance across nearly 300 overs. Sachithra Perera (Newcastle & Hartshill, North Staffs & South Cheshire) has been the miser in chief: 58 wickets at just 9.34 each, conceding barely 3 an over. Ayabulela Gqamana (Paignton, Devon) and Ishan Abeysekara (Harrogate, Yorkshire North) both sit past the 50-mark, underlining how widespread the bowling talent has been.

The Patterns Emerging
Lincolnshire’s batters have been especially dominant, with Khanduri and Tharindu both topping the pile. Yorkshire’s leagues, meanwhile, are heavily represented in the bowling charts, with Mishra, Abeysekara and others showing how hard runs are to come by up north. And unsurprisingly, overseas pros feature prominently — a reminder of the quality and consistency they bring into league cricket every summer.
What Comes Next
With the season ticking down, a couple of questions remain. Can Jones or Khanduri push towards the magic 1,500-run barrier? And will Mishra become the first bowler this campaign to crack 70 wickets? Either way, the closing weeks promise drama, and the numbers already in the book will take some beating.
This has been the summer of the big guns. And if you’re a bowler lining up against Jones or Khanduri in September, or a batter strapping the pads with Mishra steaming in, one thing’s for sure: you’ll need more than luck to stop them.
