From Edmonton, London, Richards attended Norlington School in Waltham Forest.

Richards made his Second-XI debut for Essex in 2021 and signed a rookie contract with the club in early 2022.[4] He made his debut in List-A cricket for Essex on 5 August 2022, against Derbyshire at Chelmsford, with Richards top-scoring in the Essex innings with 46 from 44 balls.[5] At the 2022 Essex end of season awards Richards won the first XI young player of the year award.[6]
He signed a new contract with Essex in February 2023.[7] Speaking soon after this, Richards said that he is focused on playing all formats of the game.[8] Richards made his first-class cricket debut on 26 May 2023 as Essex played against Ireland at Chelmsford.[9] He took 5-96 on debut.[10]
Style of playedit
An all-rounder, Essex Cricket head coach Anthony McGrath was quoted in 2023 as saying that during his debut season Richards had displayed “moments of brilliance when featuring in our One-Day Cup side…Jamal is one of the brightest talents on the County circuit. He has raw pace with ball in hand and can hit it a long way with the bat too."[11]
