Richard Howell (cricketer)

Richard Howell (born September 10, 1983) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who most recently played for Northamptonshire.

Howell began his professional career with Hertfordshire in 2002 before joining Northamptonshire in 2004. He has played primarily in List A and Twenty20 cricket for the county. He is known for his aggressive lower-order hitting and useful bowling variations.

His List A debut came in 2004, and he quickly became a regular in Northamptonshire's limited-overs sides. Howell has been a consistent performer in the T20 Blast, often contributing crucial runs and taking important wickets.

Although he has had opportunities in first-class cricket, his appearances have been limited, and his focus has primarily remained on the shorter formats of the game.
