Ismail Dawood (born 23 July 1976, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England) is a former professional first-class cricketer, who later played for Cheshire County Cricket Club. He has previously played first-class cricket for Northamptonshire, Worcestershire, Glamorgan and Yorkshire.
Dawood is a lower-middle order batsman and wicket-keeper. He played in eight youth Test matches for England Under-19s scoring 240 runs, with a best of 111, at 21.81, and taking 16 catches and four stumpings. He first represented Northamptonshire in the Second XI Championship in 1994, and between 1997 and 1999 appeared extensively in the competition, in the interim playing irregularly in first-class cricket matches.
While with Glamorgan, Dawood showed that he was also a useful lower-order batsman and, in 1999, he recorded a maiden first-class hundred by making 102 against Gloucestershire at Cardiff, after being promoted to open the batting after injuries to other players. Later in the season, he also created a new county record by not conceding a bye as Lancashire totalled 556 for 6 declared at Blackpool.
