Graham Onions (born 9 September 1982) is an English cricketer. He plays for Lancashire and England as a right arm fast-medium bowler and a right-hand tail-end batsman. After a successful start to the 2009 cricket season, Onions was selected to face the West Indies in Test cricket, and following success in the series, was retained for the 2009 Ashes series. In April 2010 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack named him as one of its five cricketers of the year for 2009. A back injury in March 2010 prevented Onions from playing cricket until 2011. He returned to competitive cricket that season, taking 50 wickets in the County Championship, and towards the end of the year was called up to England's Test squad.
Early life
Graham was born on 9 September 1982 to Richard and Maureen Onions. He has an elder sister Christine.

He married his wife Emma in 2010 and has two children, Oliver James (2013) and Esmé Amelia Rose (2015).
