Mark Alleyne
Mark Wayne Alleyne MBE (born 23 May 1968) is an English cricket coach and former first-class cricketer who made ten One Day International appearances for England between 1998/99 and 2000/01. He is the head coach at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.
Classed as an all-rounder, he mostly batted in the middle of the order and bowled at a medium pace, but he has also kept wicket for both England and his county, Gloucestershire.
He is the first Black British and third Black overall to coach an English first-class cricket team after Derief Taylor and John Shepherd.
Alleyne impressed early for Gloucestershire, scoring a century for them at 18 and a double-hundred at 22, being in both cases the youngest to achieve the feat for the county.
He replaced Jack Russell as captain in 1997, and in 2000 led Gloucestershire to two one-day cups and the National League title, just missing out on promotion in the County Championship, his achievements winning him a Wisden Cricketer of the Year spot. In the ensuing few years he became renowned as a leading tactician in the one-day form of county cricket, leading Gloucestershire to 4 one day knockout cups in 6 years.
In 2001, however, his performances fell away somewhat, especially with the bat, and Alleyne relinquished the captaincy to Chris Taylor in 2004. Indeed, he played just four county matches that year and did not make his first appearance in 2005 until 10 June.
On the 1998/99 tour of Australia he made his England debut at Brisbane.
In February 2020, he was named in England's squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa. However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.
