Stuart Meaker (born 21 January 1989 in Durban, Natal, South Africa) is a cricketer who plays for Surrey. His family came to England in 2001, and he was educated at Cranleigh School. For cricketing purposes he is regarded as English. He is a right-arm fast bowler and a right-handed batsman. His profile on Surrey's own website says that he has been clocked at 96mph.[1][2]
He played in two "Test" matches for the English U-19 cricket team in 2007. He also played in six Under-19 limited overs internationals, of which the last two were in the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2007-8.
He made his first-class debut for Surrey against Loughborough UCCE in a match that began on 12 April 2008. He did not bat, but took one wicket for 53 runs. He made his List A debut for Surrey against Sussex on 28 May 2008, but did not bat or bowl.
The end of 2008 saw him off to Australia where he played for a club side in Sydney, before returning to play with Surrey. His 2009 season at Surrey saw him significantly improve both his batting and bowling figures.
In September 2011, he was called into England's squad for a one-day series in India later in the year. He had taken only 19 List A wickets at the time of his selection. He made his debut on the tour, taking a wicket in the process.
