Domestic career

Cockbain started his career playing youth cricket for Lancashire and appeared for MCC young cricketers before joining Gloucestershire in 2010. He made his first-class debut in a seven-wicket victory against Derbyshire in April 2011. He opened the batting along with Chris Dent and scored just 5 in the first innings as Gloucestershire posted 343. In the second innings he saw Gloucestershire to victory, scoring 59 not out and making his maiden first-class half century.^[4] In the following game of the season he scored 21 and 47 against Glamorgan in a 189-run defeat.^[5] Cockbain made his List A debut against Glamorgan on 24 April; he scored just 4 in a three-wicket victory for Gloucestershire.^[6] Cockbain made scores of 1 and 72 as Gloucestershire drew in a first-class tie against Middlesex in May 2011.^[7] Cockbain scored his maiden first-class century in June 2011 against Middlesex in a drawn match. He scored 127 from 233 deliveries batting at number five, a knock which included 16 fours and 1 six.^[8] On 24 July, Cockbain made his highest one-day score of 79 runs from 84 balls in a 19-run defeat.^[9] On 4 August 2011, Cockbain scored 59 from 50 balls to record his third one-day half-century in a six-wicket defeat. He has secured a place in the Gloucestershire 1st XI middle order as a reliable batsman, and recorded one day half centuries against Essex and Lancashire respectively in 2012 to go with a match saving 112 and 51 against Hampshire at Bristol.^[10]

In 2013, Cockbain was used almost exclusively by Gloucestershire as a limited overs player. Players from the 2nd XI being promoted over him, resulting in him playing just one first-class match in 2013.^[11]

In April 2022, he was bought by the Trent Rockets for the 2022 season of The Hundred.^[12]

Cockbain was released by Gloucestershire at the end of the 2022 season.
