Ian David Russell Bradshaw (born 9 July 1974) is a former Barbadian cricketer who played for West Indies as a left-arm fast bowler.
A former West Indies under-19s captain, Bradshaw's senior debut came two months before his 30th birthday, when he was selected to play in the last three One Day Internationals of a seven-match series against England. After taking five wickets in the three matches, he became a permanent fixture in the team. In September 2004, Bradshaw was a member of the West Indies team that won the 2004 Champions Trophy, and was named man of the match in the final. He made his Test debut in March 2006, taking three wickets in each innings against New Zealand, and played five matches before being dropped.
Bradshaw captained West Indies under-19s during their tour of England in 1993, playing three youth Tests and two One-day Internationals. However, as he failed to impress the national selectors of Barbados enough to get first class time for Barbados before January 1998, he was also out of the regional selectors' thoughts, even though he captained Barbados from 2000–01 onwards.
In January 2004, Bradshaw was named in West Indies' 15-man ODI squad which played South Africa, as "reward for good performances during the Red Stripe Bowl", where Bradshaw had taken five wickets for 22 runs to be named Man of the Match in the semi-final. However, Bradshaw did not play a single match, returning to Carib Beer Cup cricket to take six wickets in the Carib Beer Challenge final, where Barbados beat Jamaica.
