Right-handed off-break bowler, Gareth Batty was born on 13 October 1977 in Bradford.
Batty's test debut was against Bangladesh in Dhaka 2003. He took the wicket of Alok Kapali with his third ball. However, in the following couple of years, Batty did not have many opportunities to play test match cricket as spinner Ashley Giles was usually preferred by the selectors.
