Edward Joseph How (16 May 1974 – 28 March 2012) was an English first-class cricketer, banker and educator.

How was born at Amersham in May 1974. He was educated at Dr Challoner's Grammar School, before going up to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1995 and 1997, making fourteen appearances.[2] A largely ineffective left-arm medium-fast bowler against first-class county opponents, he took 13 wickets at an average of 88.07.[3] His one bowling performance of note came against Kent in 1997, with figures of 5 for 59. He also played football for Cambridge University A.F.C., gaining a football blue.[4]

After graduating from Cambridge, How worked in the City of London for Deutsche Bank, becoming a vice-president at the bank. He then changed careers, becoming a chemistry teacher at Charterhouse School, where he also coached cricket and football.[4] How was killed in an off-piste skiing accident at Val-d'Isère in France on 28 March 2012, having fallen 200 metres (660 ft) to his death. He was survived by his wife and child.[5]
