Raphael Alexander Weatherall (born 24 October 2004) is an English cricketer who plays for Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. He made his first-class debut on 12 April 2024 against Middlesex.[1]
Weatherall is the son of Sally (née Philbrook) and Mark Weatheralll, a consultant neurologist, and is the second youngest of their five children. He attended Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, and began a law degree at Exeter University in 2023.[2] From 2018 to 2021 he played for Chesham Cricket Club in the Thames Valley Cricket League, but was not selected for the first XI.[3] He was talent-spotted by Northamptonshire in 2021, and subsequently joined their academy. In 2023, he played for the England under-19 team in two youth Test matches and a One Day International against Australia. He signed a two-year professional context with Northamptonshire the same year.[2][4] After his debut in the County Championship, he took his maiden first-class wicket on 13 April 2024, dismissing Middlesex and former England opener Mark Stoneman.[5] He made his T20 debut on 30 May 2024, against Derbyshire in the T20 Blast.[6] In his first List A game on 24 July 2024, Northamptonshire faced the same opposition in the One-Day Cup.[7]
