'''Andre Ryan Adams''' (born 17 July 1975) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former [[cricket]]er of [[Caribbean]] descent.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2003/feb/14/cricketworldcup2003.cricketworldcup4 Windies fall to Calypso Kiwi] Retrieved 29 July 2010.</ref> He played international cricket for New Zealand and is noted for playing in New Zealand's first T20I against Australia in 2005 where he was awarded [[List of New Zealand Twenty20 International cricketers|cap number 1]].

== Early life and career ==
Andre Adams was born on 17 July 1975 in [[Auckland]], New Zealand, to a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines father and a Guyanese mother with partial [[Corsica]]n ancestry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/qa-andre-adams/HPIFNN26XBVRQ5BTZ6JFZIAUZE/|title=Q&A: Andre Adams|website=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=25 June 2023 }}</ref>

Adams debuted at the highest level for New Zealand in March 2002, but a bout of back injuries on the [[New Zealand cricket team in West Indies in 2002|West Indies tour of 2002]] allowed [[Jacob Oram]] to move ahead of him in the pecking order, limiting him to one Test. Following that, question marks were raised about his attitude. He played in the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003 World Cup]], but soon lost his place again and was resigned to a life in the wilderness until he received a very late call-up to New Zealand's one-day squad in England towards the end of the [[2004 NatWest Series]]. He didn't end up playing, but later signed with Essex for the remainder of the summer, where he stayed for the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

He had a productive 2006-07 domestic season for Auckland, claiming 32 wickets at 18.78 in New Zealand's domestic first-class State Championship and scoring 318 runs at 39.75. However, this was overshadowed by his one-month suspension for grabbing and shaking the helmet of Central Districts batsman [[Bevan Griggs]]. Along the way, Adams was recalled for three ODIs against Sri Lanka in December but was overlooked for the [[2007 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] and lost his national contract in May 2007. He was overlooked again the following season, despite impressive performances in the State Championship, and the frustration prompted him to sign a two-year contract with the now defunct [[Indian Cricket League]].

== County cricket ==
In 2007, Adams signed with English county [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]]. He had a fine [[2010 County Championship]], topping the bowling charts for the Country with 68 Wickets including the wicket of Shivnarine Chanderpaul to seal the Title at [[Old Trafford]] on the last day of the Season. [[2011 County Championship|2011]] was also very productive with 550 Runs and 67 wickets from 16 matches (including 7 Five Wicket Hauls) at 22.61, placing him third on the season's overall bowling table. He was a part of the Auckland side that won the New Zealand's domestic one-day cup and Twenty20 tournament in 2010–11, and traveled with the team in September to India for the [[2011 Champions League T20]].

Adams had intended to end his professional career at Nottinghamshire where he had taken 334 first class wickets for an average of 24.18. He signed a three-month contract with [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]] for the beginning of the 2015 season.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/29021187 |title=Sport Cricket 2 September 2014 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=19 August 2016}}</ref> Injuries limited him to only three first class appearances for Hampshire and he announced his retirement at age 39.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/33051666 |title=Sport Cricket 8 June 2015 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=19 August 2016}}</ref> He received high praise from his former club Nottinghamshire where he spent eight seasons for his role in inspiring younger bowlers at the club.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/9875971/andre-adams-retires-from-cricket-at-age-of-39 |title=Andre Adams retires from ..... 5 June 2015 |website=Sky Sports |access-date=19 August 2016}}</ref>

== Coaching ==
In 2015 Adams joined the [[Auckland cricket team|Auckland Cricket Club]] as bowling coach for the 2015/16 season. The club had a successful season and for the 2016/17 Adams was Auckland A Head Coach.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://aucklandcricket.co.nz/aces/new-roles-for-adams-abbas/ |title=New roles for Adams & Abbas 16 August 2016 |website=Auckland Cricket Club |access-date=19 August 2016 |archive-date=12 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012195057/http://aucklandcricket.co.nz/aces/new-roles-for-adams-abbas/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In February 2024, he became the fast bowling coach of [[Bangladesh national cricket team]] .<ref>{{Cite web |last=icc |date=2024-02-27 |title=Experienced names to join Bangladesh coaching setup |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/experienced-names-to-join-bangladesh-coaching-setup |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=www.icc-cricket.com |language=en}}</ref>
