## Cricket career

He first played Minor Counties cricket for Berkshire County Cricket Club in 2012 and has continued to play for the side when available.

Lincoln made his first-class cricket debut on 11 July 2021, for Kent in the 2021 County Championship. Following a positive COVID-19 case in Kent's first XI, He was part of a side that was brought together for Kent's fixture against Sussex following a member of the county's First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county's previous match to all self-isolate. As a result, a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects" were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county.
