Harwood Wycum Williams (born 17 January 1970) is a former Kittitian cricketer who played several matches for the Leeward Islands during the 1990s, and later a single Twenty20 match for Saint Kitts in 2006. Born on the island, Williams played for the Leeward Islands under-19 team at both the 1988 and 1989 West Indies Youth Championships,[1] and finished second in the team's batting averages and run aggregates in the latter year.[2] A right-handed middle-order batsman, he made his senior debut for the Leeward Islands during the 1993–94 season of the limited-overs Geddes Grant Shield, playing two matches in January 1994.[3] In the second of these matches, played against the Windward Islands at Grove Park, Charlestown, Williams scored 31 not out batting seventh, remaining unbeaten at the close of innings.[4]
Williams made his first-class debut the following month, for the Leewards against the touring English team.[5] He scored 14 and 25 runs in the first and second innings, respectively, with the Leewards losing by seven wickets.[6] Williams' next matches for the team did not come until the 1995–96 season of the Red Stripe Cup, which were to be his last at first-class level. His next match at a major level did not come for a further ten years, when he was selected to appear for Saint Kitts in the inaugural 2006 edition of the Stanford 20/20, which featured 21 teams from around the Caribbean region.[7] In the match, played against Nevis, he scored only a single run in Saint Kitts' first innings, with the team losing by seven wickets to be knocked out of the tournament in the first round.[8] Williams has been resident in the United Kingdom for several years, where he played regular semi-professional cricket for the Dunnington Cricket Club in the York and District Cricket League.[1] As of May 2012, he was the chairman of the Leeds-based Caribbean Cricket Club and still is in 2014.[9]
