Thomas Lloyd Maynard (25 March 1989 – 18 June 2012) was a Welsh professional cricketer who played for Glamorgan and Surrey, and was selected for the England Lions tour to Bangladesh.
[4] Maynard made his debut for the Glamorgan First XI on 10 June 2007, playing in a Friends Provident Trophy match against the Gloucestershire Gladiators at Colwyn Bay.
[5][6] Maynard's Twenty20 Cup debut soon followed, as he played in Glamorgan's three-run defeat to the Warwickshire Bears on 24 June 2007; he scored 11 runs before being caught by Tim Ambrose off the bowling of Heath Streak.
No play was possible on the first two days of the match, so Maynard's debut ended up being restricted to just one innings, in which he scored 15 runs before being caught by Craig Kieswetter off Steffan Jones.
[10] The day before his death, Maynard hit 7 runs off 17 balls against Kent Spitfires in the Friends Life T20 at Beckenham, his only appearance in the competition in the 2012 season.
[13] Maynard's car, a Mercedes-Benz C250, was stopped by police in Arthur Road, Wimbledon, in south west London at around 4 am BST on 18 June 2012, when they observed it being driven erratically.
[14] His funeral was held at Llandaff Cathedral on 4 July, with more than 1,000 people in attendance, including England players past and present.
[18] Hugh Morris, the England team's managing director, said in his tribute that Maynard was "one of our most exciting and explosive young batsmen.
The post-mortem revealed that Maynard was nearly four times over the legal drink-drive limit and had also taken cocaine and ecstasy in the form of MDMA.
