Taylor signed a two-year contract with Gloucestershire in February 2009.[1] Taylor's younger brother,Matthew Taylor is also a professional player and has played more than 100 games for Gloucestershire.[2]
Born 12 November 1991 atBanbury in Oxfordshire, Taylor made his debut in September 2010 as an 18-year-old against Derbyshire atBristol. Taylor made 6 and 3 batting and did not bowl in a 54 run loss for Gloucestershire.[3] In the following game againstSurrey, Taylor took his maiden first-class wicket, he clean bowled England internationalChris Tremlett for 4 runs as he bowled four overs in the first innings. He was again disappointing with the bat recording scores of 0 and 2 and he bowled just one over in the Surrey second innings.[4] Taylor made hisList A debut the following season againstSomerset atTaunton. He made 2 with the bat and bowled 3 overs that went for 29 runs in an unremarkable one-day debut.[5] In GloucestershireT20 fixture against Somerset in April 2011, Taylor starred with the ball in the first innings taking 4 wickets for just 16 runs in his four overs playing alongsideSri LankanMuttiah Muralitharan. He then top scored with the bat hitting 38 runs in 28 balls in a two wicket victory.[6] On 24 July 2011, Taylor took 3 wickets for 50 runs in one-day loss againstNottinghamshire.[7] His one-day form continued as he also took 3 wickets in August 2011 againstUnicorns in a six wicket finish.[8]
On 28 May 2013, theEngland and Wales Cricket Board announced that they were suspending Taylor, as well asHampshire'sGlen Querl, because of an illegal bowling action.
Both had been reported twice in the previous 12 months for 'displaying elbow extensions in excess of the permitted 15 degrees'. The ban started immediately and ruled Taylor out of the rest of the 2013 season.[9] Consequently, he only played 2nd XI cricket, and only as a batsman. It is hoped that after surgery on his shoulder and coaching he will return for the 2014 season.[10]
