During his career, Ratcliffe received winner’s medals for all the domestic competitions in County Cricket. He made over one-hundred appearances in both first-class and one-day matches.
Following the end of his playing career, he became an administrator and quickly progressed to Deputy Chief Executive of the Professional Cricketers’ Association in 2008, spending a decade as a Board member of PCA Management Ltd.
