Richard Michael Pyrah (born 1 November 1982) is an English first-class cricketer, who played all his career for Yorkshire County Cricket Club.[1]

Educated at Ossett School, the 6-foot-tall (1.8 m) right-hand batsman and right-arm medium pacer was used mainly in one day and Twenty20 cricket. He made his one-day debut in 2001, but had to wait until 2004 for his first-class bow.[1]

Pyrah made his 100th appearance for Yorkshire in one day cricket in June 2013, against Middlesex at Headingley.[2]

Rich has twin daughters, Mollie and Tilly. He also has a partner called Alexandra Jane Ahern which has a daughter called Lilly Ahern

In September 2015, at the end of his benefit season, Pyrah retired from professional cricket in order to take up a full-time post on the club's coaching staff.[2][3]
