10 cricketers who married other cricketers' sisters

5. Alec Stewart and Mark Butcher

Alec Stewart and Mark Butcher, who were teammates at Surrey and for England, were also family for a time. Butcher had married Judy Stewart, Alec’s sister (with whom he had a daughter), making the two brothers-in-law during their playing careers.

Butcher and Stewart played through a difficult time for English cricket. While Stewart was a regular member of the team, Butcher’s career saw a series of highs and lows, both on and off the field. His marriage to Judy brought the two men even closer, but after the fallout from the marriage due to an extramarital affair, the relationship took a toll on Butcher’s form.
