About
Rory Burns Testimonial Year
Rory Burns - The Man
Rory Burns is a name synonymous with resilience, leadership, and skill on the cricket field. Born and raised in Surrey, Rory began his cricketing journey with Surrey County Cricket Club, quickly making a name for himself as a dependable opening batsman.
His impressive performances earned him a call-up to the England Test team, where he became a cornerstone of the batting lineup. Rory has amassed numerous career milestones, leading Surrey to a hat-trick of titles from 2022-2024, scoring more than 1,000 runs in 2024 as he became the second most successful captain in the Club’s 180-year history outright with 4 championship titles. Only Stuart Surridge, with five, has won more County Championship titles for Surrey.
Known for his distinctive technique and unwavering focus, Rory has become a fan favourite and an inspiration to aspiring cricketers worldwide. Off the field, Rory is a dedicated family man and a passionate advocate for causes that uplift communities. His Testimonial Year is not just a celebration of his sporting achievements but also a testament to his character and contributions beyond the game.
The Testimonial Year
A Testimonial Year is a tradition in cricket, honouring a player’s long-standing contributions to their club and the sport. It provides an opportunity for fans, teammates, and the cricketing community to come together and celebrate the player’s achievements while raising funds for charitable causes. Rory Burns’ Testimonial Year is a reflection of his unwavering commitment to cricket and his impact on the game. Through a series of special events, matches, and community initiatives, we aim to honour Rory’s career and give back to the communities that have supported him throughout his journey.
