**Steven Philip Cheetham** (born 5 September 1987) is an English [cricketer](/source/Cricket). He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler who played for [Lancashire](/source/Lancashire_County_Cricket_Club). He was born in [Oldham](/source/Oldham), Greater Manchester, and attended [Bury Grammar School](/source/Bury_Grammar_School). Cheetham is a right arm fast/medium bowler and a lower order batsman.

## Career

Cheetham made his debut in [first-class cricket](/source/First-class_cricket) in a match between Lancashire and [Durham University](/source/Durham_University_Centre_of_Cricketing_Excellence) in April 2007. A year later, Cheetham played his maiden [list A match](/source/List_A_cricket); on 18 May, Lancashire played [Durham](/source/Durham_County_Cricket_Club). Cheetham took 2/39 as Lancashire lost by six runs.[1] Until his loan to Surrey towards the end of the 2010 season, Cheetham played thirty five list A matches for Lancashire, including one against each of the Bangladesh and West Indies A teams.[2]

On 4 August 2010, Cheetham moved to [Surrey](/source/Surrey_County_Cricket_Club) until the end of the 2010 season on loan. With limited opportunities to play first-team cricket at Lancashire after a run of injuries, there was a greater chance to play at Surrey who at the time had suffered injuries to their bowling attack.[3] Following an injury to Lancashire captain and bowler [Glen Chapple](/source/Glen_Chapple) in September, Cheetham was recalled early from his stint with Surrey.[4] In October 2011, the season where Lancashire won the county championship, having been unable to break into Lancashire's first-team due to a serious long term recurring ankle injury, Cheetham was released by the club. He then went on to have one final season with Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
