Matthew Boyce
Matthew Boyce (born 13 August 1985 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire) is an English cricketer. He is currently playing for Leicestershire, primarily as an opening batsman. Like his near contemporary, Stuart Broad, he was educated at Oakham School.
Boyce achieved a unique feat on 23 June 2010 by winning a man of the match award, despite only appearing as a substitute. Will Jefferson had batted for the Leicestershire Foxes in their Friends Provident t20 North Group match against the Warwickshire Bears at Edgbaston, but suffered an Achilles problem resulting in Boyce taking to the field, instead. Neil Carter, Jim Troughton and Tim Ambrose were all ran out by Boyce, as he helped the Foxes to win by 32 runs. After the match, Boyce was named man of the match, and he took part in the presentation ceremony with Paul Allott.[1]
He has acted as captain for Leicestershire when all other players were unavailable.
