Saeed Ahmed Hatteea (born 2 February 1950) is an international businessman and former first-class cricketer. He has held senior positions, including President of Marks & Spencer, CEO of NDS Shanghai, Ciro Citterio, Dunn & Co and Intercontact Group CSFB, and Chairman of the multinational retail group Yours Clothing, Long Tall sally, Evans and M&Co.[1][2][3] In cricket, he was a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a right-handed batsman.

In 1962, he moved with his family to their home in Kensington, London where he attended the City of London School.[4] Having played several matches for England schools and one Second XI Championship match for Warwickshire in 1969,[5] he was invited by chief chairman of selectors, Vijay Merchant, to play in India.[6] He made his first-class debut for Bombay against Saurashtra in the 1969/70 Ranji Trophy. He played three further first-class matches for Bombay that season,[7] and was expected by some to be named in the squad for national team's tour of the West Indies, but he was not selected.[6][8]

Hatteea returned to England for the 1970 season, where he played second XI cricket for Gloucestershire.[5] He also played for a Rest of the World XI against TN Pearce's XI in England that September. Back in India later in the year, he played two further matches for Bombay, and made a single appearance for West Zone against South Zone, in the 1970–71 Duleep Trophy semi-final.[7] In his 8 first-class matches, he took 27 wickets at a bowling average of 28.29. His only five wicket haul came against Gujarat for Bombay.[9]

Having returned to England, Hatteea played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire, making 3 Minor Counties Championship appearances for the county in 1972.[10] It was for Oxfordshire that he made his only List A appearance against Durham in the Gillette Cup.[11] In this match he scored an unbeaten 6 runs. With the ball he took 4 wickets for the cost of 32 runs from 9.2 overs.[12] He later became Chairman of Sport at The Hurlingham Club.[13]
