Nicholas (Nick) Arthur Folland (born 17 September 1963, Bristol) is a former first-class cricketer, who represented Somerset County Cricket Club between 1992 and 1994.[1]

Folland came into county cricket unusually late; following success at Minor Counties level with Devon, he was persuaded by Somerset that he could combine his teaching with a professional cricket career and made his debut in regular first-class cricket in 1992, at the age of 28. He had played one match earlier for the Minor Counties representative side against the Indian tourists in 1990.

Folland went on to play 32 first-class matches and 68 at List A level. The highlight of his career was the two first-class centuries in a match that he made in 1993 against Sussex.[2] These turned out to be the only two first-class hundreds of his career, and he left regular cricket midway through the 1994 season, deciding, according to Wisden, that "regular first-class cricket was not for him".[3]

His brother, Neil, taught at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys School, with his Devon team mate, Doug Yeabsley.

He is now Headmaster of Blundell's Preparatory School, formerly known as St. Aubyn's.
