Salt was born on 28 August 1996 in Bodelwyddan, Wales. He began playing cricket in St Asaph and played for the North East Wales Under-11s.
He attended school in Chester, and when he was 10 years old his family moved to Barbados. As a result, he met the Barbados residency requirement, and so was eligible to play for either England or the West Indies.
Whilst in Barbados he played with future Sussex and England colleague Jofra Archer.
Salt returned to the United Kingdom at the age of 15, when he attended the Reed's School on a cricket scholarship.
Phil Salt's fearless ball-striking at the top of the Sussex order earned him attention from across the global T20 circuit and a maiden England call-up in 2019, though he was made to wait until 2021 for his debut when he performed a passable impression of Jason Roy in the Covid-hit ODI series against Pakistan..
