George Anthony Garrett (born 4 March 2000) is an English former professional cricketer.[1][2] He played as a fast bowler for Kent County Cricket Club and Warwickshire.
Born at Harpenden in Hertfordshire in 2000, Garrett played age-group cricket for Warwickshire from 2014 before making his Second XI debut for the county during the 2018 season.[1] He was educated at Shrewsbury School, where he played for the school XI, and studied history at the University of Birmingham.[3][4] He played club cricket for Harpenden Cricket Club in the Hertfordshire Cricket League before moving to play for Shrewsbury CC in 2019.[1] Although still a member of Warwickshire's Academy team, he made his First XI debut for the county team during the same season, taking a place in the team after the fast bowling attack had been reduced due to a series of injuries. He took two wickets on his senior debut in August in a County Championship match against Somerset at Edgbaston,[3][5][6] before making his Twenty20 debut for the team later in the month.[1]
After playing for the team during 2020, Garrett moved on to a full-time contract with Warwickshire at the beginning of the 2021 season.[7] He made his List A debut in July 2021,[8] but his opportunities in First XI cricket were limited and after six List A and a single first-class appearance during 2022,[1] he made only one senior appearance for the team during the 2023 season and at the end of the season signed a two-year contract to play for Kent.[9]
After two seasons with Kent, during which he played 17 times for the First XI,[1] Garrett announced his retirement from professional cricket in September 2025 in order to train as a lawyer.[4][10][11]
