James Evans (cricketer)

James Evans (9 November 1891 – 26 August 1973) was an English first-class cricketer.

Evans was born in the historic county of Shropshire in November 1891. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1913, with him playing in the same fixture the following season. Following the First World War, he played eleven matches for Hampshire in the 1920 County Championship, having started that season as an opening batsman, but later in the season he found himself batting from the lower order. He did little of note during the 1920 season, scoring 138 runs at an average of 10.61. He returned to play two matches for Hampshire in the 1921 County Championship against Lancashire and Yorkshire. Evans died in August 1973 in Upham, Hampshire.
