Mark Ramprakash MBE
A talented batsman who played 52 Test matches and 18 ODIs, Mark Ramprakash’s career lasted 25 years and saw him become one of the most prolific run-scorers of his generation. Only one of 25 players in the sport’s history to score 100 first-class centuries, since retiring from professional cricket he’s worked as a coach in both the international and domestic game, as well as becoming one of the most highly sought-after cricket speakers in the business.
Mark’s career began with Middlesex in 1987, and he earned the nickname ‘Bloodaxe’ due to his short, fiery temper. Over the years he mellowed and became much better at dealing with his frustration when things were not going his team’s way and in 1991 he made his England Test debut in a match against the West Indies. In the domestic game, he also represented Surrey and was the first man to captain both Middlesex and Surrey.
Over the course of his 25-year career, he represented both county and country at the highest possible level, and in his capacity as one of the greatest cricket speakers around, his stories from a career at the very top of elite sport. Mark’s selection of fascinating anecdotes and hilarious stories means he’s always entertaining and engaging.
Retiring from the sport in 2012, Mark remained active in the sport in a coaching capacity. This includes working as a batting coach for both Middlesex and England, as well as head coach of Edinburgh Rocks for the inaugural Euro T20 Slam cricket tournament. Away from the sport, Mark has also become a popular TV personality. In 2006 he won Strictly Come Dancing, with the general public falling in love with his charisma and down-to-earth personality. These are traits he can bring to every after-dinner speaking event he attends. Also an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, at all of his cricket speaking events he can discuss the sport’s representation and other issues impacting the sport.
One of the most popular cricket after dinner speakers around, Mark Ramprakash can delight audiences everywhere he goes and is sure to provide your next event with a valuable boost.
