Nicholas Wisdom (born 18 March 1953[1]) is a former English cricketer, turned businessman.[2][3] He was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace.

Wisdom is the son of the late Sir Norman Wisdom, who was a world famous comedian, singer-songwriter and actor. Wisdom was present at his father's funeral on the Isle of Man, reflecting on his father's life, he said: "He was a very caring and loving father, always greeting us with a big kiss right to the end. Perhaps for his family and his many friends and fans around the world, they are the true 'Lucky Little Devils' because they shared his love and enthusiasm for life, which made him the unique person he was."[7]
