Sheridan Raynor (7 July 1934 – 10 December 2011) was a Bermudian cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm spin bowler. Although he only played one first-class match for Bermuda, against New Zealand in 1972,[1] his abilities were such that Gary Sobers wanted Raynor to play for the West Indies team. Raynor, however, was ineligible as Bermuda was not part of the West Indies association.[2] It was the maiden first-class match to be played by the Bermuda cricket team.[3] Outside of cricket, Raynor worked as a taxi driver and spray mechanic.[4]

Raynor died on 10 December 2011 as a result of complications from a stroke which he had suffered a year previously and from which he had never regained consciousness.[5] Upon hearing the news of his death, the Bermudian parliament paused proceedings in tribute, and he was inducted into the Bermuda Sporting Hall of Fame.[2][4]
