Harry Frederick Gurney (born 25 October 1986) is an English cricketer who plays international cricket for the England cricket team. Gurney made his One Day International debut on 9 May 2014 against Scotland. Domestically he plays for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club after leaving Leicestershire County Cricket Club at the end of the 2011 season. He primarily plays as a left-arm seamer.
He had relative success in Leicestershire's second team and made his first team debut in the 2007 season.
Gurney has also played for Loughborough Town CC and the Leeds/Bradford UCCE, for whom he has taken the wicket of ex-England Test Captain Michael Vaughan.
In 2009 Gurney shone in T20, taking 8 wickets at an average of 23. However, he struggled to make an impact in the longer form of the game, averaging over 50 in the second division of the County Championship. The following year, Gurney's Twenty20 form dipped, although he improved in the Championship, averaging just over 33.
In 2011 Gurney proved adept particularly in Twenty 20 matches, taking 23 victims during Leicestershire's title winning campaign, although he missed out on Finals Day due to injury. He was though, part of the Foxes squad in the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 which took place in India. He took 5 wickets in the tournament although Leicester lost both their games in the competition.
in 2012 Gurney left Leicestershire to join Nottinghamshire, following the same path as Stuart Broad and James Taylor. Although he was seen as a one-day specialist, Gurney also featured in the County Championship Division One for the first time in his career. Notts failed to win a trophy but Gurney established himself as an integral part of the team, particularly in the shorter formats of the game.
