David John Green (born 18 December 1935) is a former English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1953 and 1960 and for Cambridge University from 1957 to 1959.
Green was born in Burton-on-Trent. His first County Championship appearances for Derbyshire came at the age of 17 during the 1953 season. He remained a force in the middle order in the 1954 season, and following an impressive display against Kent, was selected to play for Derbyshire against the touring Pakistanis.
He appeared occasionally throughout the 1955 season and made a strong finish to 1956. He then went to Cambridge University and he spent the following spring playing for the University making impressive showings against County Cricket teams before resuming his role as a Derbyshire player later in the 1957 season. This pattern was repeated in 1958, although he made no appearances for Derbyshire during 1959. He played for Cambridge in the Varsity match in 1957, 1958 and 1959.
Green returned briefly for Derbyshire in the 1960 season, and played for Free Foresters in 1960 and 1961 against Cambridge University.
Green also played for Derbyshire's Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship and the Second XI Championship. In 1964 he played a one-day match for Wiltshire.
Green was a right-handed batsman and played 152 innings in 87 first class matches with an average of 20.20 and a top score of 134. He took one first class wicket at a cost of 99 runs.[1]
