Nigel Gordon Helm Draffan (born 1 September 1950) is an English former first-class cricketer.
Draffan was in September 1950 born at Nakuru in what was then British-administered Kenya Colony. He was educated in England at Malvern College,[1] before going up to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[2] While studying at Cambridge, Draffan played first-class cricket on four occasions for Cambridge University in 1971–72,[3] struggling against the county opposition he faced by scoring just 35 runs from 7 innings.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Cambridge, he also represented the university in two List A one-day matches against Leicestershire and Northamptonshire in the 1972 Benson & Hedges Cup,[5] scoring 33 runs.[6] Alongside his cricket, Draffan also played field hockey and rackets for the university for which he gained a blue and half-blue respectively.[1]
Draffan is currently the managing agent for Savills of the Angmering Park estate near Arundel, having previously been estate director for the Goodwood Estate.[7] He is also a trustee of the Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation.[8]
