Cleveland Vincent Lindo (6 June 1936 – 6 January 2023) was a Jamaican cricketer. He played
St Elizabeth
.
Lindo was a right-arm fast bowler and a right-handed lower order batsman. In his solitary match for Nottinghamshire in 1960, he did better with bat than ball, making 18 and 24 batting at No 9, but failing to take a wicket in 20 overs in the match as
Pakistan Eaglets, a touring side of young players from Pakistan, some of whom went on to become Test players. In a Somerset side that also featured several younger players alongside the established Peter Wight and the Test bowler Fred Rumsey, Lindo made an unbeaten 23 when Somerset batted in a match affected by rain, and then took eight wickets for 88 runs in the Pakistan Eaglets' only innings, including those of future Test players Mushtaq Mohammad and Sadiq Mohammad.[3] The bowling included a spell of five wickets for one run in 17 deliveries with the second new ball.[4]
Despite this performance, and with Somerset's bowling very strong, Lindo was not picked for the first team again, and did not play any further first-class cricket.
After leaving Somerset, Lindo played
Minor Counties cricket for Staffordshire
and appeared in charity matches for the International Cavaliers side.
Lindo was married to Phyllis, and had one daughter, Sonja. He died on 6 January 2023, at the age of 86.[5]
