John Jameson (cricketer)

Jameson made his Test debut against India in 1971, scoring 82 in his second Test. His only Test tour was the West Indies tour of 1973–74, on which he was selected for one One Day International and two Tests, without personal success with the bat. His brother Thomas Jameson appeared for Warwickshire and Cambridge University in 1970. ==Later career==

Jameson was born in Bombay, Bombay Province, British India on 30 June 1941. Being born in the sub-continent, Jameson always took a special interest in South Asian cricket. He visited Bangladesh twice with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) sides, first in 1978–79 and again in 1980–81. He became an instant hit with the cricket lovers of Dhaka, not so much for his cricket, but more for his rather bulky figure. Later, he served Bangladesh cricket as a coach and helped in the early development of cricket in Bangladesh. Jameson was a first-class umpire between 1984 and 1987, as well as working as a pitch inspector for the ECB. He was well known for his expertise on the laws of cricket, being called before the Daryll Hair tribunal in 2007 as an expert witness. He coached at Sussex and was appointed MCC cricket secretary in 1989. ==Personal life and death==

Jameson was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 in 2004. Jameson died from a suspected heart attack on 13 September 2025, at the age of 84. ==References==
