Umer Rashid

Umer Bin Abdul Rashid (b. Southampton, England, February 6 1976 – d. Concord Falls, Grenada April 1 2002) was an English first class cricketer, who played for Middlesex and Sussex.

Rashid played as an allrounder who bowled slow left-arm orthodox and batted left handed. He was a member of the Marcus Trescothick led 1995 Under-19 series against South Africa. In one of the games he struck 64 from number 11 and made 97 not out in another. With the ball he took 10 for 71 in one of the 'Tests'.

His first-class debut came in 1996 for Middlesex before he moved to Sussex in 1999. He made 2 centuries in his career, an innings of 110 against Glamorgan and 106 at Chester-le-Street. His slow left arm bowling gave him 49 first class wickets and a best of 5 for 103 against Northampton.

In 2002 Sussex travelled to Grenada for a pre-season tournament. He had been swimming at a popular tourist spot 'Concord Falls' when his brother got into trouble. Umer drowned attempting to rescue him.
