Shawn Craig (born 23 June 1973) is an Australian former first-class cricketer, who is now an umpire.

Playing career

Craig played first-class cricket for the Victorian Bushrangers, debuting in 1996–97 after graduating from the Australian Cricket Academy. He was used for his part-time legspin and his middle-order batting. His finest knock with the bat was an unbeaten 128 in 1998–99.[1]

In his first-class career he averaged 31 with Victoria over the space of 20 matches, and was cut from the state squad after the 2001–02 season.[2] Following this he became a prominent all-rounder in Victorian Premier Cricket, opening the batting for St Kilda Cricket Club.

Umpiring career

Craig is a member of the Cricket Australia Project Panel and officiates at First Grade level in Victorian Premier Cricket.[3][4] He made his international umpiring debut in 2014 and had officiated in 24 international fixtures, as of January 2023.
