Keith Thomas Medlycott (born 12 May 1965) is an English former cricketer, a left-arm spinner and middle order batsman for Surrey and Northern Transvaal. He is known in the game as "Medders".
Medlycott's career in first-class cricket spanned 1984 to 1991, and in List A matches from 1985 to 1991 (but with one final match in 2005).
Of his three first-class centuries, one was made on debut against Cambridge University, whilst another was made in Surrey's record seventh wicket partnership of 262 – with Jack Richards – against Kent in 1987.[1][2]
International careeredit
Medlycott travelled to the West Indies during England's 1989–90 tour,[3] but did not play in any Test matches. In the winter of 1990 he toured Sri Lanka with the England A team.[3]
At the end of 1991, Medlycott was forced into premature retirement at the age of 26 due to developing a tendency to fail to let go of the ball when bowling, known as the bowling "yips". In 1997 he returned to Surrey as a coach, where he helped secure three County Championship titles and four one-day trophies. He moved on from his position in 2003, and went on to work for the International Cricket Council as a high performance manager for umpires.[5]
In 2007, Medlycott became cricket professional and coach at Reed's School in Cobham, Surrey.[3][6]
In February 2009, Medlycott was appointed Director of Cricket at Purley Cricket Club.[7] He was also team captain.[8][9]
