James Cullum Tredwell (born 27 February 1982) is an English former internationalcricketer. A left-handed batsman and a right-armoff break bowler, he played his domestic cricket forKent County Cricket Club and was appointed as County Captain for the 2013 season. He made his debut for Kent in the 2001 season, nine days before his first appearance forEngland Under-19s. He often fielded at slip. Tredwell was a member of the England team that won the2010 ICC World Twenty20.
He was part of the one-day set-up for Kent since 2002, but did not secure a regular place in thefirst-classCounty Championship team until 2007, a year after taking his maidenten-wicket haul. He was selected as part of the EnglandOne Day International (ODI) squad to tourNew Zealand in 2007–08, but had to wait until 2010 to make his international debut.
After impressing during the 2009 season with Kent, helping the team gain promotion back to the first division of the County Championship, Tredwell played his firstTest and ODIs againstBangladesh in March 2010. HisTwenty20 International debut followed two years later. He took 78 wickets in 74 international matches.
In September 2018, Tredwell announced his retirement from cricket having been injured for the entire2018 domestic season after making five appearances in Kent's pre-season campaign in the West Indies2017–18 Regional Super50 competition.[2] In 2019 he was appointed to theECB NationalUmpires Panel, qualifying him to stand as an umpire in Second XI and Minor Counties fixtures.[3]
Tredwell was born inAshford, Kent and was educated atSouthlands Community Comprehensive School inNew Romney.[4] His father, John, played over 1,000 times forFolkestone F.C. and coached his son at Folkestone Cricket Club.[5] Tredwell has continued to play cricket for Folkestone in theKent Cricket League.
He made three appearances in youth Test matches forEngland Under-19 cricket team against theWest Indies in August2001.[6] He made his debut in the first Test atGrace Road,Leicester, alongside future Test cricketersJames Anderson andMatt Prior.[7] He claimed six wickets during the series, at an average of 32.50.[8]
He was offered a contract withKent County Cricket Club in 2001 after playing for the youth team. He was one of 14 players who were selected for theECB National Academy inLoughborough in 2003–04, and the subsequent tours of Malaysia and India.[9]
He made his firstList A appearance for Kent Cricket Board against Worcestershire Cricket Board in the first round of the2000 NatWest Trophy, when he wasrun out for ten and took one wicket.[10] He also appeared in the subsequent two rounds of the competition, until Hampshire knocked them out in the third round.[11] He spent the remainder of the 2000 season playing for Kent Second XI. He once again appeared in the first three rounds of the renamed2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, scoring 71opening againstBuckinghamshire in the second round,[12] and 57 from the same position in the third round defeat toWarwickshire.[13] His first-class debut for Kent came later in the same season, againstLeicestershire in July 2001, claiming the wicket ofAftab Habib as his first scalp in a match that Kent won by three wickets at Grace Road.[14]
His one-day debut for Kent County Cricket Club came in the 2002Benson & Hedges Cup, where in a rain-reduced match, he claimed the wicket ofOwais Shah as he finished with one wicket for 26 runs.[15] He made 19 List A appearances for Kent in 2002, finishing the season with 21 wickets at an average of 23.76.[16]
He played just twoCounty Championship games in 2005, but played extensively in the one-day game, earning an extension to his contract.

He was part of the side that won the2007 Twenty20 Cup, beatingGloucestershire in the final.
At the end of the 2008 season, Kent were relegated from the first division of the County Championship,[17] and they spent one season in the second division, achieving promotion at the end of the 2009 season by winning the second division title.[18] During their promotion winning season, Tredwell took his career-best bowling figures, claiming 8/66 in a match againstGlamorgan,[19] a performance that gave him the leading bowling figures in the County Championship's second division.[20] He finished the 2009 season with 69 first-class wickets at an average of 26.63; the first season in which he had taken more than 40 wickets or more than onefive-wicket haul.[21] He was also the second-highest wicket taker in the division behind leg-spinnerDanish Kaneria (75).[22]
Tredwell was named as captain of Kent for the 2013 season, replacingRob Key.[23] During his captaincy, Tredwell was called up to play for England in theChampions Trophy and then the one-day series againstNew Zealand and later againstAustralia. He found juggling both the Kent captaincy and his international commitments difficult[24] and, as a result he resigned the captaincy to be replaced by the returning Key in November 2013.[25]
In March 2016 Tredwell was selected to represent theMarylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in the Champion County match againstYorkshire in Abu Dhabi. He took six wickets in the match, bowling 65 overs in the match.[26]
Tredwell's performances during the2007 domestic season and with the Performance Squad in India over the winter of 2007–08, led to his first call-up to the EnglandOne Day International (ODI) squad in January 2008 for a series of matches against New Zealand.[27] He did not play in any of the matches on the tour and was not called up again by England until December 2009 when a series of injuries in the England senior squadon tour in South Africa prompted his call-up toEngland's squad. CoachAndy Flower described him as a "like for like" replacement forGraeme Swann in case Swann's side injury worsened.[28] Once again he did not play a game as England won the ODI series 2–1.
Tredwell finally made his debut for England against Bangladesh in an ODI in March 2010, finishing with figures of 0/52 from 10 overs. He made his Test match debut in thesecond Test against Bangladesh, taking six wickets on debut as well as scoring 37 runs in England's first innings. Tredwell played his first match for England on home soil in the return series, taking 0/18 atTrent Bridge.
After touring Australia in 2010–11, Tredwell played in two matches during England's2011 World Cup campaign, winning the Player of the Match award in the teams' final group match againstWest Indies, with bowling figures of 4/48.[29] The 2012 season saw him play in home matches against Australia and South Africa before touring India later in the year, making hisTwenty20 International debut on the tour.
By the start of 2013 Tredwell had established himself as a key part of England's limited overs team and he played in all five matches against India, taking his best ODI figures of 4/44 during the tour. He played in all three T20I matches on England's tour of New Zealand. He went into the2013 Champions Trophy as England's main spin bowler, playing in four of the team's five matches. He took 3/19 in the semi-final against South Africa and played in the rain-affected final against India, taking 1/25 as England narrowly lost by five runs.
More games followed: Tredwell played T20Is against New Zealand, captioning the side in one match which was rained off after two balls, and played ODIs against Ireland and four of the five ODIs against Australia later in the season before touring Australia over the 2013–14 northern winter and then being selected for the limited overs tour of the West Indies, in preparation for the T20 World Cup.
After being selected again in England's squad for theT20 World Cup, Tredwell played in all four of England's group matches. The side failed to advance out of the group and was beaten by the Netherlands in their final match of the tournament.
Further international opportunities followed throughout 2014, with matches against Scotland, Sri Lanka and India at home before being selected for the tour of Sri Lanka later in the year, playing in 15 ODIs and nine T20Is during the year.
Despite being selected in the squad for a Tri-series tournament against India and Australia in early 2015, Tredwell did not play asMoeen Ali was chosen ahead of him as England's spin option. He was selected for the2015 World Cup squad but only played in England's final game of the tournament against Afghanistan as the team again failed to advance out of the group stage. Tredwell took figures of 1/25 in what was his final ODI.
Tredwell's final international match came in April 2015. An injury to Moeen meant that he was chosen in the Test squad to tour the West Indies and was selected for the first Test of the series. He took 4/47 in the first innings of the match and one wicket in West Indies' second innings in what was his second and final Test appearance.
