Paul Collingwood

Bat-and-Ball Sports

Paul David Collingwood is an English cricket coach and former player, born on 26 May 1976, who played in all three formats of the game internationally for England and for Durham County Cricket Club. A batting all-rounder who also bowled reliable medium pace, he was regarded as one of the finest fielders of his time, and he captained England's One Day International side in 2007 and 2008 and was the first England Twenty20 International captain. As captain he led England to their first ICC trophy, the 2010 World Twenty20, and scored the winning run in the final. His 206 in the 2006 to 2007 Ashes was the first double century by an England batsman in Australia for 78 years. He captained Durham for the final six seasons of his career and was later part of Scotland's coaching staff for the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
