Simon John Richards (born 28 January 1964) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played five first-class and five List A matches for Otago during the 1983–84 and 1984–85 seasons.[1]
Richards was born at Dunedin in 1964.[2] A right-handed batsman, he played age-group cricket for Otago from the 1981–82 season, also appearing for the New Zealand under-19 side during the season. He made his senior representative debut for the province in a December 1983 List A match against Central Districts, scoring four runs during the match. He made his first-class debut the following day, also against Central Districts, before playing against the touring England Test side the following month and against Northern Districts towards the end of the season.[3]
All five of Richards' List A matches were played during the 1983–84 season, and the following season he played only two more first-class matches for Otago. He scored a total of 88 first-class and 77 List A runs, with a highest List A score of 61 coming against Wellington. This was his only senior representative half-century.[3]
