Career

Playing for Yorkshire second-XI in June 2022, Bean scored a record 441 runs against Nottinghamshire second-XI. It was the highest individual score ever recorded in the Second-XI Championship, beating the previous highest mark of 322 scored by Marcus Trescothick for Somerset against Warwickshire at Taunton in 1997.[1][2] Following this score Bean was given a contract with Yorkshire until the end of the 2023 season.[3][4] He scored 61 on his List-A debut for Yorkshire against Kent in the Royal London Cup on 19 August 2022.[5] Bean made his first-class debut for Yorkshire on 5 September 2022 against Lancashire County Cricket Club at Old Trafford. He was praised for the assertiveness of his defensive shots as well as the fluidity of his attacking shots.[6] Bean struck his maiden first-class century on the opening day of the 2023 county cricket season, scoring 118 from 149 balls against Leicestershire at Headingley on 6 April, 2023.[7]
