Gladstone Small, a talented Barbadian-born cricket speaker and former England cricketer, had a successful career in both Test cricket and One Day Internationals. He retired from cricket in the early 1990s and has since become a dedicated sports speaker. Small was highly regarded for his commitment to Warwickshire and was loved by fans for his friendly personality. Despite his relatively short time as a cricket speaker and player for the national English team, Small made a significant impact with his talent and numerous on-pitch appearances. He played seventeen Test matches and over fifty One Day Internationals, earning praise as a strong team player. Small's career highlights include being awarded the Man of the Match title and representing England in the 1987 and 1992 Cricket World Cups. In addition to his international career, Small was a respected domestic player for Warwickshire. After retiring, Small became a cricket speaker for the Professional Cricketer's Association and later became a director of the organization. He also participated in beach cricket as part of the national England squad in 2006 and 2007. Small's inspiring story of overcoming challenges, including being born with Klippel-Feil syndrome, was made into a documentary for the Respect television series.
