From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benjamin Edward Ashley Preece (born 8 November 1976 in Birmingham) is a former English first-class cricketer. Due to injury, he had only a very brief career at the top level of the domestic game, appearing in three first-class and one List A games, all for Worcestershire in the 1996 season. He had previously played for a couple of years in the Worcestershire seconds, being the county's leading bowler at that level in 1995 and 1996.[1]
