Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The seamer then tried his hand with Worcester second XIs and in 2013 played for Shropshire in 2013. There he picked up 23 wickets from 7 games. After that he made a move to Australia to play club cricket for Laidley Cricket Club in Queensland in 2014. There he worked at a farm to keep himself fit and that worked dividends.
In 2014, Ben gave a trial for the Northants club and in 2015 got a call from the club. But it was in 2016, when he realized his true potential and picked up 55 wickets in the Championships. His 3 for 31 in the T20 final also helped the Northants team to win their second title. Post that season, he was signed up for three more years at the club.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ben Sanderson enjoyed the finest season of his career in 2018, at 29, when he took 60 Championship wickets for Northants at only 16.70, one of the few bright spots in a largely depressing season. It was further evidence that a player who was almost lost to the game had turned himself into one of the most reliable performers on the county circuit.
Sanderson played three games for Yorkshire as a seam bowler before he was released in 2011. He joined the Minor County, Shropshire, and became involved with the family business before making a comeback to county cricket four years later. Playing club cricket in up-country Queensland, where he was working on a farm to keep fit, he then won a trial with Northants.
That return worked out well in 2016 in a Championship season that went from strength to strength, taking 55 second division wickets at 21 apiece. A career-best 7-22 against Glamorgan on an uneven pitch in Swansea ("the food is not great here but I had a protein shake at lunch and that seemed to work") won him a new three-year contract and he bettered it the following month with 8-73 against Gloucestershire as Northants finished the season with victory.
