Thomas Richard Hardman (3 December 1990 - 28 November 2012) was an English cricketer. Hardman was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium-fast. He was born in Bury, Greater Manchester and was educated at St Joseph's RC High School, Heywood and Holy Cross College, Bury.
Following a back injury which required him to be placed in a brace for three months in 2010,[2] he began playing Second XI cricket for the Lancashire Second XI. While studying Sports and Exercise Sciences at Leeds Metropolitan University, Hardman made two first-class appearances for Leeds/Bradford MCCU in 2012 against Surrey at The Oval and Yorkshire at Headingley.[3] He scored a total of 65 runs in his two matches,[4] with a high score of 44 against Yorkshire. With the ball, he took 3 wickets at an average of 59.66, with best figures of 2/51.[5] He also played a number of Second XI matches for Leeds/Bradford MCCU during the 2012 season.
