Harry Edward Dearden is a talented left-handed batsman hailing from Bury, England. He began his cricketing journey in the Lancashire age-group sides, showcasing his skills and potential at a young age.

In 2020, Dearden faced a moment of disappointment when he found himself apologizing to the club’s supporters after an innings of 36 not out off 32 balls from the number six position in a T20 match against Derbyshire. Although he played a valiant innings, Leicestershire fell short of the target by just five runs with only four wickets down. This incident further fueled Dearden’s determination to improve his game and perform at his best.

The subsequent season posed a challenge for Dearden as he had a quiet start and lost his place in the Championship team.
