He was a left-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1995.
Bairstow started his career within the Worcestershire Second XI, before moving to Derbyshire, and it was a surprise when the Peakites, without the relative experience of Karl Krikken and defensive technique of Steve Griffiths, called upon the young Bairstow as their cover man.
