Barry Elyston Fletcher (born 7 March 1935) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire in 49 matches between 1956 and 1961.[1] He was born in Birmingham.
Fletcher was a left-handed middle-order batsman, a very occasional right-arm medium pace bowler and he also kept wicket a few times. Primarily a second eleven player in the Minor Counties and Second Eleven Championship he made occasional first-team appearances for Warwickshire from 1956, mostly in the less important games against the universities, Scotland and the Combined Services until a century in the match against Oxford University in 1960 led to a more extended run in the first team.[2] His 16 matches in 1960 gave him an aggregate of 446 runs at an average of 26.23 and a similar extended run in the team in 1961 brought 581 runs at 24.20, with four scores of more than 50 but no further centuries.[1] But these figures were not enough to earn him a new contract and he left full-time cricket at the end of the 1961 season.
