Kevin Sharp

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.

He had a fourteen-year first-class career playing for Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Griqualand West cricket team. 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.

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 in succession to Steve Rhodes.
