Who is Andy Hayhurst?

Andrew Neil Hayhurst is a former English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.

During a twelve-year first-class career, Hayhurst played for Lancashire, Somerset and Derbyshire. An effective all-rounder, he was unable to provide the necessary push to put him up for possible international candidacy. With an average nearing 58 in 1990, in his first season for Somerset, he did not make such figures for the team until 1994, when he became captain of the team for the following three years.

Hayhurst left Somerset in 1996, and in the same year he was to become the assistant coach of Derbyshire. However, he was asked to play early in that season but got injured in his first match for the team. In the same year, Hayhurst became first-team coach due to the departures of Dean Jones and Les Stillman. He left Derbyshire after a disagreement with captain, Dominic Cork, who he had appointed!.

In February 2002 Hayhurst returned to Lancashire as Secretary of the Lancashire Cricket Board, After 8 successful years at the helm of this organisation, he now holds the position of Director.
