Richard Yeabsley
Richard Yeabsley is an English former first-class cricketer.
Son of former Devon player Doug Yeabsley, and brother of fellow first-class player Michael, Richard was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School and Keble College, Oxford. He was a sharp medium-pace bowler and useful batsman. During his brief career, he represented Oxford University and Middlesex, playing a total of 19 first-class matches and making five List A appearances. Yeabsley quit the game, aged just 22, with a career first-class bowling average of 32.77.
His best bowling performance came in the 1994 Varsity match. He took 6-54 in the first innings, and 4-50 in the second, giving him his only five wicket innings and ten wicket match hauls.
Like his father Doug, Richard Yeabsley played top-class cricket and rugby union. In the latter, he appeared three times for London Irish.
In 2011 Yeabsley was head of foreign exchange options at BGC Partners branch in London.
