James William Arthur Taylor (born 6 January 1990) is an English former cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. A right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm leg break bowler, Taylor made his debut in first-class cricket in 2008 for Leicestershire and made major impressions in his first county seasons. He is noted as being a fine fielder in the covers. He became the youngest Leicestershire one-day centurion and first-class double centurion. In 2009, Taylor also became the youngest player in Leicestershire's history to score 1,000 championship runs in a season. A serious heart condition, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), forced him to retire in April 2016.
Having represented England at under-19 level and captained the England Lions, Taylor made his One Day International (ODI) debut for England in August 2011. In December 2011, Taylor signed a contract to play for Nottinghamshire and the following summer he made his England Test debut when he faced South Africa at Headingley becoming the 653rd man to play Test cricket for England and the first born in the 1990s.
James Taylor was born in Burrough on the Hill, a small village in Leicestershire. His father, Steve, was a National Hunt jockey until injury forced him to retire and he is now a race starter. Standing 5 feet 1 inches tall, Taylor is known for his diminutive height and is one of the shortest cricketers to have played English county cricket., though he is one inch taller than Sachin Tendulkar. He believes that his batting is not weakened by his height and has said "It's good for hooking, and less can go wrong with my feet movement. I use it to my advantage as I like to cut and pull." Taylor attended Maidwell Hall and then Shrewsbury School where he studied his A-levels and played for their cricket team.
