Jason David Ratcliffe (born June 19, 1969) is a retired English first-class cricketer. A right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler, Ratcliffe played County Championship and domestic one-day cricket for Warwickshire between 1988 and 1994 and then for Surrey from 1995 until 2002.[1] His father, David Ratcliffe, also played for Warwickshire between 1957 and 1968.[2]

During his career, Ratcliffe received winners medals for all the domestic competitions in County Cricket. He made over one-hundred appearance in both first-class and one-day matches, scoring 6,5000 first-class runs with fiven centuries, and a further 1,856 runs in the shorter format.[3] He also took sixty-seven wickets across all forms of the game with his part-time medium-pace bowling. Following the recurrence of a persistent knee injury in 2002, he retired.[2] Following the end of his playing career he became an administrator - rising to assistant chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association in 2008,[4] at the time that lawsuits were arising between the Indian Premier League and the England Cricket Board.[5]
