Richard James Green (born 13 March 1976) is a former English cricketer who played 31 matches for Lancashire between 1995 and 2000, mainly as a fast-medium bowler. He won the NBC Denis Compton Award in 1996, which is given to the most promising young player at each English first-class county. Green also represented England at junior levels. He was born in Warrington, Cheshire. For several years he played for the Cheshire club Grappenhall, sometimes alongside former teammates Steven Titchard and Neil Fairbrother. At Grappenhall he is the team’s star batsman and does not bowl, presumably because of an injury that may have helped end his county career early.
