Who is Owen Parkin?

Owen Parkin is a retired English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. Born in Coventry, his first-class career began with Glamorgan in 1994, playing twice during the 1994 County Championship, and taking 5/28 on his Sunday League debut, after a season in which he had spent much of the time incapacitated with a back injury. For a few years, he was a regular member of the Glamorgan team in both 4-day and 1-day cricket, but towards the end of his career, he was regarded more as a specialist one-day bowler, and played an important role in Glamorgan's National League successes in the early 2000s. He retired from first-class cricket in 2003.

Before joining Glamorgan, he played in the 1991 Second XI championship with Hampshire and also for Dorset Minor Counties.

From 2008 to 2011, he worked as a housemaster at Milton Abbey School in Dorset. Since the beginning of 2011 Autumn school term, he has worked as a Salisbury house tutor and Maths teacher at Canford School, which is also in Dorset.
