Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
In 2013, Davies signed a professional contract with Lancashire just ahead of the summer. He took part in the latter part of the competition, following the club’s move to drop the regular keeper Gareth Cross.
There was a mini hiccup in his first-class career when Lancashire roped in Jos Buttler in 2014. However, Buttler soon was part of the national side across all formats and Lancashire turned back to Davies. In 2015, he struck seven fifties in 14 matches. Lancashire won the T20 Blast competition in 2015 and Davies played a decisive knock in the final against Northamptonshire, where he scored 47 off just 26 deliveries. His knock earned him the Man of the Match award.
Following a successful season, a knee injury forced him out of action for major portion of the season in 2016. But, Davies came back strongly in the very next year in County Championship with a maiden first-class ton in his comeback match against Essex in the second essay. He maintained the good run by tallying 916 runs in 14 matches with three hundreds and three fifties. Donning the gloves, he claimed 48 dismissals behind the sticks.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Alex Davies made history in 2017 when he became the first Lancashire wicketkeeper to pass 1,000 first-class runs in a season, his three Championship centuries against Essex, Somerset and Hampshire helping the club settle into Division One life in a summer when he also won his county cap. His talent had been obvious since becoming Lancashire's youngest one-day player in August 2011, two days before his 17th birthday. He made his Championship debut just over a year later, against Surrey at Old Trafford and was included in England's Under-19 World Cup squad, scoring a half-century against South Africa.
Davies, who played club cricket for Darwen, signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2013 season. His career stalled briefly when Lancashire signed Jos Buttler, England's one-day wicketkeeper, for the start of the 2014 season with the expressed intention of developing his wicketkeeping skills. But by mid-season Buttler had graduated to Test level, with Davies' return even involving the opportunity to open the innings in the Championship.
With Buttler on international duty throughout 2015, Davies made a considerable impact, hitting 730 runs at an average of more than 40 and falling one run short of a maiden Championship hundred against Kent. He was also man of the match in the T20 Blast final won by Lancashire at Edgbaston, his chipper and intelligent innings at the top of the order bringing more evidence of his potential.
A knee injury slowed his progress in 2016 but he averaged nearly 40 in the Championship a year later, and had another excellent year in 2018, particularly in the T20 Blast where he made 534 runs (the second highest tally by a Lancashire batsman) as the county reached Finals Day. At the end of 2021, however, he moved to Warwickshire in search of new beginnings, and as a regular in the top three, contributed 649 runs to his maiden campaign, including a century against his old club.
