Charlie Richard Hemphrey (born 31 August 1989) is an English cricketer.[1] He has played professional cricket in England,[1] Australia,[1][2] and Wales.[3] Hemphrey was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire,[1][4] but grew up in Kent and was educated at the Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone.[1][5][6]

After playing in second teams for English county cricket clubs Kent, Essex, and Derbyshire,[7][2] Hemphrey emigrated to Brisbane, working briefly for an airline[7][2] before signing for Queensland cricket team. He made his List A debut for Queensland on 9 October 2015 in the 2015–16 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup in Australia.[8]

In January 2019, he was signed by Glamorgan County Cricket Club,[7] ahead of the 2019 County Championship in England,[3] before returning home permanently in early 2020.

Hemphrey has since gained residency in Australia, putting doubt on his cricketing career in England due to a three-year qualification period set by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).[9] Hemphrey was released by Glamorgan ahead of the 2021 County Championship.[10]
