Dennis Arlen Wainwright[A] MBE (17 November 1935 - December 2024)[1] was a Bermudian cricketer who played as a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper. He played one first-class cricket match for Bermuda against New Zealand in 1972.[2] It was the maiden first-class match to be played by the Bermuda cricket team.[3] As well as playing cricket, Wainwright was the goalkeeper for the Bermuda national football team.[4]
Wainwright was born in Bermuda in 1935 and grew up in the Flatts area of the island.[2][4] He was educated at Harrington Sound and played island cricket for the Flatts side and for St Georges Cricket Club, opening the batting and captaining the side for a period.[5] He played from 1957 until at least 1984, including playing non-first-class matches against a numbering of touring international and English county sides and touring England, Canada and North America with Bermuda Wanders.[4][6] On a tour of England in 1961 he was part of an opening partnership with Sheridan Raynor of 253 runs against an English Counties XI.[7]
After retirement he remained involved in St Georges' cricket[5] and was awarded an MBE in the 2005 Birthday Honours for services to sport and community on Bermuda.[8]
