Michael Hendrick (22 October 1948 – 26 July 2021)[1] was an English cricketer, who played in thirty Tests and twenty-two One Day Internationals for England from 1973 to 1981.

Cricket correspondent Colin Bateman remarked, "Hendrick was a lively fast-medium seam bowler who could produce plenty of bounce to trouble county batsmen.

[9] In the winter of 1974/75, Hendrick toured with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to Australia and New Zealand, playing in three Test matches.

He played his last Test matches against Australia in 1981, and in the same season, helped Derbyshire win the National Westminster Bank Trophy.

He also elected to go on the first rebel tour to South Africa in 1981–82, which incurred a three-year ban from Test cricket and effectively ended his international participation.

[2] Hendrick lacked express pace but was hazardous on a green wicket, as his command of seam bowling was considered to be excellent.

[11] After retiring from playing, Hendrick was popular on the after-dinner speech circuit, in the radio commentary box, and in a short spell as an umpire.
