Shawn Leonard Flegler (born 23 March 1972) is a former Australian cricketer who played domestically for Queensland and Victoria during the 1990s.
Born in Darwin, Northern Territory,[1] Flegler grew up in Queensland, and played for the state at under-17, under-19, colts, and second XI level, as well as attending the Australian Cricket Academy.[2] He made his first-class debut during the 1994–95 Sheffield Shield,[3] playing for Queensland against New South Wales in November 1994 in what was to be his only appearance for the state team.[4] Playing as an all-rounder who bowled slow left-arm orthodox spin, Flegler spent the 1995 and 1996 English cricket seasons playing for the Lowerhouse Cricket Club in the Lancashire League, as the club's designated professional.[5] He scored the most runs and took the most wickets in both of the seasons he spent at the club.[6]
Flegler transferred to Victoria for the 1997–98 Australian cricket season, and debuted for the Victorian cricket team in the 1997–98 Mutual Mercantile Cup. Although he only played first-class matches twice, both during the 1997–98 Sheffield Shield,[4] Flegler regularly played limited overs matches for Victoria in the 1997–98, 1998–99, and 1999–2000 seasons, including in the team that won the 1998–99 competition.[7] His last game for the state was in December 1999, against Western Australia.[8] At grade cricket level, Flegler continued to play for the University.[9] In 2001 and 2002, he also played several games in Canada and Ireland as the professionals for the Vancouver-based North Shore Cricket Club and the Dublin-based Merrion Cricket Club.[2][10]
After his retirement from playing, Flegler was recruited by Cricket Victoria as a development coach, serving variously in roles at the Cricket Victoria Academy and the Victorian High Performance Academy. Flegler was the coach of the state under-23 side in the Futures League.,[11] and is currently Female High Performance Manager and Chair of the Women's National Selection Panel at Cricket Australia.[12]
