Darren Maddy is a World Class English Cricketer who played for England against New Zealand, South Africa and scored 53 in the final ODI against Zimbabwe, at Harare.
He'd worked hard for his chance, piling up runs for Leicestershire as they won the Championship in 1996 and 1998 and his highest first-class score, a double hundred, was made on an England A tour of Kenya.
But his career was threatening to tail off before the dramatic intervention of Twenty20. Already a solid one-day player, Maddy exploded into life in the short form and by the end of 2006 season had become the first batsmen in the world to pass 1000 runs !
He was a vital member of the team that won the trophy in 2004 and 2006. His bowling and fielding means he is never out of the action. At the end of the 2006 season he signed for Warwickshire County Cricket Club. Warwickshire Country Club has produced many top international players who plays cricket around the world.
After one match, he was appointed captain when Heath Streak resigned following the opening Championship match of the season. In 2008, he led the club to promotion in the Championship but, in the winter, relinquished the captaincy and handed the reins over to Ian Westwood.
In 2009 he suffered a serious injury of a snapped cruciate ligament. During his recuperation he started wearing FE's Quantum Pendant, given to him by FE Spokesman Jean Daniels, and found it to be beneficial to his recovery.
In early 2010 he spent the off season in Perth preparing for the 2010 County Season. As the County Season has just started he is now fit to return to the highest level of English Cricket.
