Derek Walter "Dick" Richardson (born 3 November 1934) is an English former cricketer, who played in one Test for England in 1957.
[2] Born in Hereford, England, and educated at Hereford Cathedral School, the younger brother of England opening batsman Peter Richardson, Dick Richardson was a middle-order left-handed batsman and a fine fielder in close catching positions.
Unlike his older brother, Dick spent most of his time with Worcestershire as a professional, and remained with the county throughout his first-class cricket career.
Dick Richardson's career recovered, to the extent that he made significantly over 1,500 runs for Worcestershire in each of the four seasons from 1959 to 1962, and from 1961 he was among the top fieldsmen in England.
From 1963 onwards, Richardson's fielding ensured his continued selection for Worcestershire as his batting became less reliable, and he was a regular member of the side that won, for the first time, the County Championship in 1964, and again the following year.
