ian mitchell -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

ian norman mitchell -lrb- 17 april 1925 -- 4 june 2011 -rrb- was an english cricketer .
mitchell was a right-handed batsman .
the son of major alexander black mitchell , a high sheriff of gloucestershire , he was born in henbury , bristol and educated at harrow school , where he represented the school cricket team .
while studying at cambridge university , mitchell made his first-class debut for cambridge university cricket club against middlesex in 1949 .
he made a further first-class appearance that season for the university , the last of which came against warwickshire .
the following season he made his first-class debut for gloucestershire against lancashire in the 1950 county championship .
he made 7 further first-class appearances for the county , the last of which came against hampshire in the 1952 county championship .
his 8 first-class matches for the county came with limited success , with him scoring 97 runs at an average of 6.92 , with a high score of 24 .
at a time when the use of amateurs as captains was coming to an end , mitchell was offered the role of captaining gloucestershire after sir derrick bailey resigned at the end of the 1952 season , but he turned it down citing that he did n't have the time .
as a result , gloucestershire appointed jack crapp , the senior professional , as its captain for the 1953 and 1954 seasons .
mitchell married anne denise perpetua gibbs on 7 october 1950 .
the couple would go on to have 4 children .
mitchell himself would follow in his fathers footsteps by becoming the high sheriff of gloucestershire in 1969 .
he died at his home near tetbury , gloucestershire on 4 june 2011 .
