Iain Fletcher (born 31 August 1971) played first-class and List A cricket for Somerset between 1991 and 1994,and Minor Counties and List A cricket over a longer period from 1990 to 2003 for Hertfordshire. He also played one List A match for the Combined Universities cricket team. [1] He was born at Sawbridgeworth,Hertfordshire.
Educated at Millfield School and Loughborough University,Fletcher was a right-handed middle-order batsman. He played for Somerset's second eleven from 1989 and for Hertfordshire in Minor Counties cricket from 1990 and made his List A cricket debut that year,playing for Hertfordshire in the first-round NatWest Trophy match against Warwickshire. [2] In early 1991,he played a single List A match for the Combined Universities against Northamptonshire in the Benson and Hedges Cup. [3] Finally,at the end of the same 1991 season,he made his first-class cricket debut for his third top-class team,Somerset,scoring 56 and 2 not out against Hampshire. [4]
Fletcher was out of first-class and List A cricket for nearly two years,and his return for Somerset,as an experimental opening batsman,proved unfortunate,as he had made 65 when his thumb was broken by the Middlesex opening bowler Neil Williams. [5] This remained his highest first-class score. He returned to the Somerset side late in the season as a middle-order batsman,with some success,but in 1994 he played only half a dozen matches and he left the Somerset staff at the end of the season.
After leaving first-class cricket,Fletcher returned to Hertfordshire,playing in the Minor Counties competitions and in List A matches up to 2003. His highest List A score,60,and his only wicket in either List A or first-class cricket,came in 2001 in the match against the Durham Cricket Board in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy. [6]
Since leaving cricket,Fletcher has worked as a cricket journalist for newspapers including The Independent and The Scotsman.
