Richard Rockley Dibden (born 29 January 1975) is a former English cricketer.
Dibden was born at Southampton in January 1975. He was educated at The Mountbatten School at Romsey, before matriculating to Loughborough University. Having played his early club cricket for Gosport Cricket Club,[1] Dibden made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Yorkshire at Southampton in the 1995 County Championship. He made four further first-class appearances for Hampshire, all of which came in 1995.[2] Playing as an off break bowler, he took six wickets for Hampshire at an average of 71.33, with best figures of 2 for 36.[3] He also made a single first-class appearance for the British Universities cricket team against the touring Indians at Fenner's in 1996,[2] with Dibden taking the wickets of Sanjay Manjrekar and Mohammad Azharuddin in the match.[4] After the end of his first-class career, Dibden returned to club cricket with BAT Sports (later renamed Totton and Eling Cricket Club).[5] Dibden made three appearances in List A one-day cricket for the Hampshire Cricket Board, against Ireland in the 2nd round of the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, and against Wiltshire and Staffordshire in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy respectively.[6] In these, he took 4 wickets at an average of exactly 32, with best figures of 2 for 40.[7]
Outside of cricket, Dibden joined CMA Recruitment Group in 1999,[8] where he is still employed as of 2024.
