Colin Hubert Heron (12 November 1924 - 19 March 2010) was a Jamaican first-class cricketer.
Heron was born at Mandeville in Jamaica to Charles Hubert Heron and his wife, Leila Augusta Harty.[1] He was educated in Mandeville at Manchester High School.[1] After completing his education, Heron became an accountant for Deloitte Haskins & Sells.[1] He lived in England at some point, appearing in minor counties cricket for Cheshire, making six appearances the Minor Counties Championship; three each in 1958 and 1960.[2] He moved to British Guiana shortly after and appeared for the British Guiana cricket team in one first-class cricket match in October 1961 against Trinidad at Rose Hall.[3] Batting once in the match, Heron ended British Guiana's first-innings total of 501 all out unbeaten on 15.[4] With his right-arm fast-medium bowling he took 2 wickets in Trinidad's first-innings, dismissing Marcus Minshall and Pascall Roberts to finish with figures of 2 for 54 from 21 overs; Trinidad followed-on in their second-innings, with Heron going wicketless, conceding 47 runs from 13 overs.[4]
He married Cicely Indranee in June 1967, with the couple having two children.[1] Heron later emigrated to Canada, where he died at St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital in Kingston, Ontario in March 2010, following a short battle with cancer.
