Steven Philip Cheetham (born 5 September 1987) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler who played for Lancashire. He was born in Oldham,Greater Manchester,and attended Bury Grammar School. Cheetham is a right arm fast/medium bowler and a lower order batsman.
Cheetham made his debut in first-class cricket in a match between Lancashire and Durham University in April 2007. A year later,Cheetham played his maiden list A match;on 18 May,Lancashire played Durham. Cheetham took 2/39 as Lancashire lost by six runs. [1] Until his loan to Surrey towards the end of the 2010 season,Cheetham played thirty five list A matches for Lancashire,including one against each of the Bangladesh and West Indies A teams. [2]
On 4 August 2010,Cheetham moved to Surrey until the end of the 2010 season on loan. With limited opportunities to play first-team cricket at Lancashire after a run of injuries,there was a greater chance to play at Surrey who at the time had suffered injuries to their bowling attack. [3] Following an injury to Lancashire captain and bowler Glen Chapple in September,Cheetham was recalled early from his stint with Surrey. [4] In October 2011,the season where Lancashire won the county championship,having been unable to break into Lancashire's first-team due to a serious long term recurring ankle injury,Cheetham was released by the club. He then went on to have one final season with Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
