Thomas William Allin (27 November 1987 – 4 January 2016) was an English cricketer who played for Warwickshire County Cricket Club.[1]
Tom Allin was a right-arm medium-fast pace bowler who also batted right-handed.[2] He made his debut for the county in the 2011 Clydesdale Bank 40 against Surrey,[3] and his first-class debut came against Middlesex in May 2013.[4]
Allin suffered serious injuries in a road accident in October 2015. He gradually recovered physically, but suffered from mood swings. He died of suicide on 4 January 2016 aged 28 in Bideford, North Devon, by jumping from the A39 River Torridge Bridge.[5][6][7]
