John Haynes (cricketer)

John Haynes (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Surrey during the 1750s and 1760s.

Career

Haynes is first mentioned in 1759 when he took part in the three Dartford Cricket Club v All-England matches which are the only first-class matches found in the 1759 sources.[1][2] Haynes played for All-England.

He then played for Hampton as a given man in their match against Chertsey at Laleham Burway in September 1761.[1]

As Haynes had established his reputation by 1759, he must have been active for some years previously. His career continued into the 1760s but it was a period when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
