Ashenden was a right-arm fast-medium bowler. On his twenty-first birthday in 1958, playing for Bedfordshire against Shropshire in the Minor Counties Championship, he took 10 for 15 in the first innings, dismissing Shropshire for 37.[2] He made his first-class debut the next season, and in his third match for Northamptonshire he took 3 for 69 and 4 for 50 against Essex.[3] But he was never able to establish himself over three seasons at Northamptonshire and four at Gloucestershire, and he left first-class cricket after the 1965 season.[4]
