About John Hughes
Lived 1825 – 1907 (aged 81). John Hughes was a cricketer.
John Hughes (2 July 1825 – 29 January 1907) was an English first-class cricketer.
Hughes was born at Hertford in July 1825. He played the majority of his cricket for Hertfordshire, who did not participate in major matches. Hughes' only appearance in first-class cricket came for the South against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1874. An excellent right-arm roundarm slow bowler, Wisden considered him unfortunate not to play for a leading county of the time, given his skill as a bowler. Hughes died at Hertford in January 1907.
