Nick Compton is a South African-born English former Test and first-class cricketer who most recently played for Middlesex County Cricket Club. The grandson of Denis Compton, he represented England in 16 Test matches, scoring two centuries.
A right-handed top order batsman and occasional right-arm off spin bowler, Compton established himself as a consistent scorer in county cricket for Middlesex and Somerset, and, following a prolific domestic season, he made his England Test debut against India in November 2012. In April 2013, the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack named Compton as one of their five Wisden Cricketers of the Year.
Compton retired in 2018 and is now a professional photographer and broadcaster.
