Career
Educated at Queen Elizabeth's School in Wimborne Minster, Sheppard made his way up though age-group cricket, debuting for the Hampshire Second XI in 2010. While touring Sri Lanka with the England Under-19 cricket team in early 2011, Sheppard made a single Youth One Day International appearance against Sri Lanka Under-19s. Having impressed in the Hampshire Second XI in 2012, Sheppard signed a development contract at the end of that season. Sheppard made his senior debut for Hampshire during the 2013 season in a List A match against a touring Bangladesh A team at the Rose Bowl. In a match which Hampshire won by 9 runs, Sheppard was dismissed for a duck by Rubel Hossain in Hampshire's innings of 223, while with the ball he took the wickets of Marshall Ayub and Hossain, finishing with figures of 2/49 from nine overs. Sheppard made no further appearances for Hampshire and was released by the county at the end of the 2013 season. Sheppard was then picked up on a free transfer by David Holt's Ealing CC. After a steady first season averaging 2.5 with the bat and 146 with the ball, Shep then broke his ankle being a drunken tool in pre season 15/16. Shep now finds himself hating the sport of cricket, but topping the table for ECC bar takings.
