John Neil Shepherd (born 9 November 1943 in Belleplaine, St Andrew, Barbados) is a former West Indian cricketer who played in five Tests from 1969 to 1971. On his debut, he took five wickets in the first innings against England in Manchester.[1] He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1979.
Although Shepherd's Test career was short, he played a remarkable amount of first-class cricket in a variety of venues: he played in both South Africa and Rhodesia, played 15 years for Kent and seven for Gloucestershire. He was the Cricket Professional at Eastbourne College in the early 1990s.
He was named as President of Kent for 2011.
