Barry Hyam

Barry Hyam (born 9 September 1975) is a former English cricketer, known for his role as a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper. Throughout his nine-year first-class career, he played for Essex and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Hyam began his cricket career at a young age, joining the Essex Second XI at sixteen, where he competed in the Second XI Championship. His consistent performances earned him a promotion to Essex's first-class team in 1993. However, his progress was interrupted when he went nearly three years without playing a first-class match, and he did not feature in any games during the 1994 season.

In 1995, Hyam returned to the Essex Second XI and continued to develop his skills. His breakthrough came in 2000, when his solid lower-middle order batting and strong wicket-keeping helped Essex achieve promotion from Division Two of the County Championship. His performances during this period were considered vital to the team's success.
