Bradley Jacob Taylor (born 14 March 1997) is an English former cricketer.

Taylor was born at Winchester in March 1997. He was educated at Eggar's School in Alton, Hampshire.[1] A product of Hampshire's youth development programme,[2] Taylor made his debut at the age of 16 for Hampshire in a List A one-day match against Bangladesh A at the Rose Bowl in 2013,[3] becoming the youngest player to appear for the club in 135 years.[4] Shortly after, he made his debut in first-class cricket against Lancashire at Southport in the 2013 County Championship.[5] He took the wicket of Luis Reece with his third ball in Lancashire's second innings, becoming the youngest player in 146 years to take a first-class wicket for Hampshire.[4] The following season, he made his Twenty20 debut for Hampshire against Sussex in the T20 Blast.[6] He secured a contract at Hampshire in 2015.[4] Taylor played for Hampshire until 2018, making eight first-class, eighteen one-day, and eight Twenty20 appearances.[5][3][6] An all-rounder who bowled off break, Taylor scored 133 runs in first-class cricket,[7] whilst with the ball he took 13 wickets at an average of 41.84 and best figures of 4 for 64.[8] In one-day cricket, he scored 355 runs at a batting average of 35.50; he made three half centuries, with a highest score of 69.[9] With the ball, he took 15 wickets at an average of 44.06, with best figures of 4 for 26.[10] In Twenty20 cricket, he only scored 23 runs from four innings,[11] in addition to taking four wickets.[12] Having not featured for Hampshire since the 2019 season, with his 2020 season interrupted by injury,[2] Taylor announced his retirement from professional cricket at the end of the 2021 season, alongside teammate Ryan Stevenson.[4]

Taylor represented the England Under-19 cricket team from 2014 to 2016, making three Youth Test and 22 Youth One Day International appearances.[13][14] In December 2015, he was named as captain in England's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[15]
