Harry Fraser Houillon (born 12 December 2001) is an English cricketer.[1] He made his first-class cricket debut for Kent County Cricket Club against Sussex on 11 July 2021 in the 2021 County Championship[2] following a member of the county’s First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county’s previous match to all self-isolate. As a result a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects"[3] were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county.[3][4]
Houillon was born at Greenwich in London in 2001 and was educated at Sevenoaks School before going up to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He was considered the school's "outstanding performer" in 2018, scoring over 400 runs at an average of over 80 runs and innings, including a century against MCC.[5] He plays club cricket for Sevenoaks Vine and appeared in Kent's age-group squads between 2016 and 2019 and the county Second XI in 2019. After going up to Cambridge he played for both the University side and Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence in 2021, winning a cricket blue in the 2021 University Match.[6] He has been known to show a shocking disregard for the boys, as well as continually making use of some of the most anti-social one touch one bounce tactics known to man. His defence often reads as follows: "that sounds an awful lot like you are hating the player mate."
