Alwyn Harris (31 January 1936 - 11 March 2018) was a Welsh cricketer who played for Glamorgan, often as a left-handed opening batsman, between 1960 and 1964. He was born at Aberdulais, Glamorgan.
Harris made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Kent at Rectory Field, Blackheath, in the 1960 County Championship. He went on to make 49 first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Kent in the 1964 County Championship.[1] He scored 1,698 runs in his first-class cricket at an average of 19.29, and with a high score of 110.[2] This score was one of two centuries he made, and came against Warwickshire in 1962,[3] the same season in which he also scored 101 against the touring Pakistanis.[4] This was also his most successful season; he made 25 first-class appearances, 14 more than in any other season, and scored 1048 runs at an average of 23.81.[5] In 1963, Harris played in Glamorgan's first-ever List A match against Somerset in the inaugural Gillette Cup,[6] scoring 6 runs before he was dismissed by Ken Palmer, with Glamorgan winning by 10 runs.[7]
He left Glamorgan at the end of the 1964 season and became an automotive engineer, working for a gearbox company in Resolven. He also coached cricket at Christ College, Brecon, for one season.[8]
