James Harris (cricketer, born 1838)
James Edward Harris (1 October 1838 – 30 November 1925) was an English soldier and a cricketer who played in four first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University in 1859. He was born and also died at Sharnford, Leicestershire.
Harris's major cricket career was largely confined to 1859, when he appeared as a batsman and bowler of unknown style in several non-first-class matches as well as in Cambridge's four first-class fixtures, which included the University match. No great indication of his merits in either batting or bowling can be gained, as his bowling figures are incomplete and he never took more than two wickets in an innings, and his position in the batting order varied between the tail-end and occasional outings as an opening batsman.
Career outside cricket
Educated at Sheffield Collegiate School and then privately at home in Sharnford, Harris was an undergraduate at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, graduating in 1860. From university, Harris joined the British Army as an officer in the 12th Regiment; he became a lieutenant in 1862, a captain in 1868, a major in 1881, a lieutenant-colonel in 1886 and a full colonel in 1890. His final appointment on half-pay was as Assistant Adjutant-General at the Cape of Good Hope, from which he retired in 1894. In 1898 he is reported as living at Earsham Hall, Bungay, Suffolk, but he later retired to his home county of Leicestershire where he was a Justice of the Peace and a Deputy Lieutenant.

James Harris (cricketer)
James Alexander Russell Harris (born 16 May 1990 in Swansea, Wales) is a cricketer who is on the staff of Middlesex. Harris is a right arm fast bowler and right-handed batsman.
Career
Harris was the youngest person ever to play for Glamorgan 2nd XI, aged 14 years and 353 days and the youngest person to have played for Wales Minor Counties, when he took 3/48 against the Netherlands. In 2006 he captained England Under-16s team and at the age of 15 signed up for Glamorgan.
He made his first class debut in 2007, at the age of 17. Against Gloucestershire, he finished with figures of 12-118, meaning he became the youngest player ever to take 10 or more wickets in a County Championship match, taking 5-52 in the second innings to follow up his first-innings 7-66.
Amazingly Harris rapidly followed this up by becoming the youngest Glamorgan player to score a half century with the bat as he posted an impressive 87 not out in a record 9th wicket partnership of 185 with Robert Croft against Nottinghamshire at Swansea, in only his fourth first class match.
