Iain George Kennedy (born 29 May 1960) is a Scottish former cricketer and the current Chairman of Selectors for the Scotland national cricket team.
Kennedy was born at Paisley in May 1960. A club cricketer for Ferguslie Cricket Club, Kennedy made his debut for Scotland against Ireland in a first-class cricket match at Downpatrick in 1983.[1] Batting twice in the match as an opening batsman, he was dismissed for 3 runs in Scotland's first innings by Garfield Harrison, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 12 runs by Simon Corlett.[2] Two years later, he made a second appearance for Scotland, this time in a List A one-day match against Glamorgan at Edinburgh in the 1st round of the 1985 NatWest Trophy.[3] He batted in the middle-order for Scotland in this match, being dismissed for 15 runs by Geoff Holmes.[4]
After finishing his playing career, Kennedy became a level three qualified coach and was involved in development programmes for Cricket Scotland and Sportscotland. He was appointed a national selector for Scotland in 2006 and was appointed Chairman of Selectors in 2009, replacing Dave Loudon.[5] Outside of cricket, Kennedy was a physical education teacher. His brother, Stuart, was also a cricketer.
