Mark Newell (born 19 December 1973) is a former English cricketer .He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler who played for Sussex and Derbyshire between 1996 and 1999. Most notable for a career high of 135 not out against the Peakites, it wasn't long until they signed him for their own after he made such an impression in 1997 following the departures of six Sussex players. Newell and his brother, Keith, left for Derbyshire and Glamorgan respectively, and played until 1999, where he suffered a sudden dip in form for the Second XI, and was not offered a renewal of his contract for 2000. In the early stages of the younger Newell brother's career, he appeared together with Keith in the Sussex strike-force, though as Keith left in 1998, so Mark left the same year.
