 Profile

Dean Cosker made his Glamorgan debut against Lancashire at Cardiff in 1996 within a few months of completing his A-levels. Born in Dorset of Welsh parents, the spinner was widely regarded to have a bright future in the professional game and had already represented England at Under-19 level. He toured with England A in 1997-98 and 1998-99, but has never materialised into the player he threatened to be as a youngster. He was capped by Glamorgan in 2000, but has proved to be much more effective player in the one-day format, playing a key part in Glamorgan's success in the National League in 2002 and 2004 with his tight bowling and exceptional fielding from backward point. Cosker also admits to being a fan of Bananarama.
