Iain John Sutcliffe (born 20 December 1974) is a former English cricketer who played for the cricket teams of Oxford University,Combined Universities,Leicestershire,British Universities and Lancashire. He played as a left-handed batsman,primarily as an opener in four-day cricket,and as a very occasional spin bowler. He also represented Oxford University as a middleweight boxer.
Sutcliffe joined Lancashire in 2003 and in the same season was awarded his county cap. [1] Sutcliffe joined Northamptonshire County Cricket Club on loan towards the end of the 2007 season,only to injure himself during his first game,thus bringing his loan to a premature end.
Towards the end of the 2008 season Sutcliffe announced his retirement from first-class cricket,stating,"I've been presented with some opportunities away from cricket and I'm at a stage where I need to explore these at the earliest opportunity." [2] He would later teach economics and become a housemaster at Wellington College,Berkshire. [3]
