Benjamin Edward Ashley Preece (born 8 November 1976 in Birmingham) is a former English cricketer. 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.[1]
Comfortably Preece's best performance came against South Africa A in August, when he took six wickets, including a career-best 4-79 in the first innings.[2] He was released by Worcestershire on the grounds of "limited opportunities at first-team level" at the end of the 1996 season,[3] and then appeared very briefly at Second XI level for Sussex and Surrey.[4]
