Nicholas Brendan Beard (born 16 September 1989) is a New Zealand former professional

Kavanagh College
.

Beard played for the New Zealand under-19 side at the 2008 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, playing in two warm-up matches and five Youth One Day International matches during the competition.[2][3] He went on to make two Youth Test appearances and two further Youth One Day International appearances against the England under-19 side on the side's 2008 tour of England.[2][4][5]

Having first played for Otago's Second XI in January 2009, Beard made his first-class cricket debut two months later for the side, against Auckland.[1] He took his career best innings bowling figure of six wickets for 107 runs against Auckland in March 2010[6] and played for a New Zealand emerging players side later in the year[7] before touring Zimbabwe with the New Zealand A side in October.[8][9]

Beard took his best

CricInfo.[11] His previous highest score of 62, and only other score in excess of 50 runs, had been made in 2010.[12]

By the 2014–15 season however, Beard's bowling action was under scrutiny. He remodelled his action and was cleared to bowl again ahead of the 2015–16 season but experience more problems with his action during the season. Beard had already qualified to trade as a real estate agent and initially planned to take some time away from cricket whilst working in that industry.[13][14] He played his last matches for Otago during the 2015–16 Plunket Shield and later chose to retire from cricket and become a full-time real estate agent.[2][15]
