Darren Robinson (cricketer)

Darren David John Robinson (born 2 March 1973 in Braintree, Essex, England) is an English cricket player who has played for the cricket teams of Essex and Leicestershire.

Some doubts were raised when Robinson first came to Leicestershire but he has proved himself to be a shrewd signing.

Robinson captained Leicestershire towards the latter part of the 2006 season after Jeremy Snape dropped himself because of a lack of form.

Robinson impressed in the field and helped guide Leicestershire to a 4th-place finish.

Midway through the 2007 season, Robinson himself lost his place due to a lack of form, and the captaincy of the side to Paul Nixon.
