Life and career

He was educated at Hemsworth High School and Loughborough University, and is now a full-time cricketer. He started playing cricket at Castleford Cricket Club.

He appeared for England as a substitute fielder, during the second Test match against the West Indies, at Headingley in 2007.

In July 2009, Wainwright joined then fellow Yorkshire cricketer, Matthew Hoggard, by signing up with a new sponsor, Woodworm.

In February 2010, Wainwright played for England Lions versus Pakistan A in Dubai. He took three wickets for 26 in the match.

In September 2011, Yorkshire County Cricket Club announced that Wainwright had exercised the clause in his contract where he can request to be released, if he is not playing regular first team cricket.^[2] In 2012, Wainwright moved to Derbyshire and took a first-class, career-best return of 6 for 33, on his debut for them against Northamptonshire. He was released from his Derbyshire contract in August 2015.^[3]
