Jermaine Jay Charles Lawson (born January 13, 1982, Jamaica) is a West Indian cricketer who has played in 13 Tests and 13 ODIs.
Lawson is a fast bowler capable of bowling over 150 km/h. He played at a remarkable level early in his Test career. His accomplishments in his first few matches include the extraordinary figures of 6/3 against Bangladesh in his third Test, a hat-trick against Australia in 2003/04, claiming the wickets of Brett Lee, Stuart MacGill and Justin Langer, and a haul of 7/78 against Australia which was instrumental in the West Indian victory in the final Test of that series.
However, his action has been suspect: he was reported for an "illegal action" on May 11, 2003 by the International Cricket Council. After remedial work, he returned to Test cricket in mid-2004, but stress fractures and a further reporting of his action in July 2005 have stalled his career to date.
In the summer of 2007 he joined Great Harwood Cricket Club in the Ribblesdale League as their professional.
On the 29th Feb 2008 it was announced that Lawson would be joining English side Leicestershire as a Kolpak player for the upcoming county season.
