James Tredwell
James Cullum Tredwell (born 27 February 1982) is an English former international cricketer. A left-handed batsman and a right-arm off break bowler, he played his domestic cricket for Kent County Cricket Club and was appointed as County Captain for the 2013 season. He made his debut for Kent in the 2001 season, nine days before his first appearance for England Under-19s. He often fielded at slip. Tredwell was a member of the England team that won the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.
He was part of the one-day set-up for Kent since 2002, but did not secure a regular place in the first-class County Championship team until 2007, a year after taking his maiden ten-wicket haul. He was selected as part of the England One Day International (ODI) squad to tour New Zealand in 2007–08, but had to wait until 2010 to make his international debut.
After impressing during the 2009 season with Kent, helping the team gain promotion back to the first division of the County Championship, Tredwell played his first Test and ODIs against Bangladesh in March 2010. His Twenty20 International debut followed two years later. He took 78 wickets in 74 international matches.
In September 2018, Tredwell announced his retirement from cricket having been injured for the entire 2018 domestic season after making five appearances in Kent's pre-season campaign in the West Indies 2017–18 Regional Super50 competition. In 2019 he was appointed to the ECB National Umpires Panel, qualifying him to stand as an umpire in Second XI and Minor Counties fixtures.
Tredwell was born in Ashford, Kent and was educated at Southlands Community Comprehensive School in New Romney. His father, John, played over 1,000 times for Folkestone F.C. and coached his son at Folkestone Cricket Club. Tredwell has continued to play cricket for Folkestone in the Kent Cricket League.
He made three appearances in youth Test matches for England Under-19 cricket team against the West Indies in August 2001. He made his debut in the first Test at Grace Road, Leicester, alongside future Test cricketers James Anderson and Matt Prior. He claimed six wickets during the series, at an average of 32.50.
He was offered a contract with Kent County Cricket Club in 2001 after playing for the youth team. He was one of 14 players who were selected for the ECB National Academy in Loughborough in 2003–04, and the subsequent tours of Malaysia and India.
He made his first List A appearance for Kent Cricket Board against Worcestershire Cricket Board in the first round of the 2000 NatWest Trophy, when he was run out for ten and took one wicket. He also appeared in the subsequent two rounds of the competition, until Hampshire knocked them out in the third round. He spent the remainder of the 2000 season playing for Kent Second XI. He once again appeared in the first three rounds of the renamed 2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, scoring 71 opening against Buckinghamshire in the second round, and 57 from the same position in the third round defeat to Warwickshire. His first-class debut for Kent came later in the same season, against Leicestershire in July 2001, claiming the wicket of Aftab Habib as his first scalp in a match that Kent won by three wickets at Grace Road.
