Alexander James Mellor (born 22 July 1991) is an English cricketer who plays for Warwickshire. He is a left-handed batsman who also plays as a wicket-keeper.

Cricket career

Mellor joined Warwickshire from Staffordshire at the end of the 2015 season.[1]

On 28 July 2016, Mellor joined Derbyshire on loan from Warwickshire, after regular wicket-keeper Harvey Hosein fractured his thumb.[2] He made his Twenty20 debut for Derbyshire, on 29 July 2016, against Durham.[3]

During the 2017 season, Warwickshire recalled Mellor as back up to the injured Tim Ambrose. However, having also been promoted to open the batting he was unable to take his opportunity, and averaged just 9.83 across three country championship matches.
