Career
A left-arm fast-medium bowler, he first played for Nottinghamshire Second XI in 1996 and made his debut for Nottinghamshire in first-class cricket in 1999. He played at Trent Bridge until 2003, although he was selected only for one day games in his latter two seasons. Seeking first-team cricket, Lucas moved to Yorkshire for the 2005 season, but failed to cement a place in the team. He played for Lincolnshire in the Minor Counties Championship in 2006, and then moved to Northamptonshire in 2007. After a poor start especially in one day cricket, he became a first-team starter in all forms of the game. He recorded his best innings figures of 7 for 24 and match figures of 12 for 73 against Gloucestershire in 2009.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/8163640.stm Lucas haul secures Northants win] BBC Sport In August 2011, Lucas signed a three-year contract with Division one side Worcestershire.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/14583973.stm |title=Worcestershire sign Northants paceman David Lucas|publisher=BBC Sport|date=19 August 2011|access-date=19 August 2011}}
