Kevin Sharp (born 6 April 1959) is an English cricket coach and a former first-class cricketer. He was educated at Abbey Grange High School in Leeds.[1]
Sharp succeeded the long-serving Steve Rhodes as Worcestershire Head Coach in 2018.
He had a fourteen-year first-class career playing for Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Griqualand West cricket team.[2] He was a left-handed batsman and bowled right-arm off-spin.
Unlike his contemporary David Gower, this curly haired left-handed batsman failed to do justice to his talent, and did not win the England cap predicted, after he scored 260* for England Young Cricketers in 1978.
Sharp made his first-class debut for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1976, and was awarded his cap in 1982.[2] As well as Yorkshire, he spent three seasons with Griqualand West in South Africa between 1981 and 1984, playing seventeen first-class matches, and averaging just under 40.
After finishing his Yorkshire first-class career in 1990,[2] Sharp played for Shropshire in the Minor Counties from 1993 to 1997, while playing club cricket for Bridgnorth, and Ossett in Yorkshire.[3]
After retiring from the game he has worked as a batting coach for Yorkshire, and as an umpire. He was appointed as Head Coach of Worcestershire on 12 January 2018.
