Richard Jowett was educated at Bradford Grammar School before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[1] An aggressive middle-order batsman and off-spin bowler, he was a regular member of the Oxford cricket team for three years from 1957 to 1959, and played two further games in 1960. He was club secretary in 1959.[1]

In his fourth first-class match for Oxford, Jowett scored 105 and 30 not out and took 3 for 50 and 3 for 34 against Free Foresters.[2] Later that season, in a first-class match against D. R. Jardine's XI, he scored 122 in the second innings in a match in which no one else reached 50.[3] Oxford won both matches. He played a few matches for Yorkshire Second XI later that season.[4]

After graduating, Jowett worked as an orthopaedist in Bournemouth.
