James Edward Charles Franklin (born 7 November 1980) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former cricketer, who played all forms of the game internationally.

Franklin played as a left-arm medium-fast bowler who swung the ball, and a middle order batsman who hit the ball with power. He began his career as a capable left-handed lower order batsman, but greatly improved his batting during his career. He is one of only two New Zealanders to take a hat-trick in Test cricket, a feat he achieved in October 2004 against Bangladesh.

Playing career

Domestically Franklin played for Wellington. He made his international debut in a One Day International (ODI) against Pakistan in early 2001 aged 20 as a result of a series of injuries to New Zealand's bowlers. He made his Test debut in Auckland against Pakistan later in the year, collecting a pair and taking two wickets. In April 2006, he scored his maiden Test century, making 122 not out in the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

In the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Franklin became the first man to take a wicket with the first ball of a match on World Cup debut.^[1] He scored two first-class double centuries, both for Wellington against Auckland, making 208 in 2005/06 and 219 in 2008/09.

Franklin played county cricket for Essex, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire and Middlesex. On 6 February 2015, it was announced that James Franklin had signed for Middlesex, initially on a two-year contract, effectively retiring from international cricket. Due to a Northern Irish grandfather from Enniskillen, he was able to play as a domestic player, playing for the side until the end of the 2018 season.

He played in the Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians, in the Bangladesh Premier League for Rajshahi Kings, in the Australian Big Bash League for Adelaide Strikers and in the Caribbean Premier League for Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Tridents.

Coaching career

In January 2019 Franklin was appointed the head coach of Durham County Cricket Club.^[2] After four seasons, in which their high point was reaching the final of the 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup, he stepped down in September 2022.^[3] He is currently serving as the bowling coach of Islamabad United in the ongoing PSL 8.^[2] He replaced Dale Steyn as the fast bowling coach of the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Personal life

He is married and has a son, Charlie Franklin, born on 15th November 2008. ^[4]
