Ralph Denis Mark Evers (11 August 1913 - 29 August 2007) was a English cricketer: a right-handed batsman who played 15 times for Worcestershire between 1936 and 1938. He made 383 runs at an average of 15.32 and had a top score of 60 not out, made against Nottinghamshire in June 1938.
Evers made his first-class debut against Northamptonshire in early July 1936, making 35 and 33. He kept his place in the side for a while thereafter, but except for 38 against Surrey and 56 against Warwickshire he achieved little. He played only once in 1937, but made four appearances the following year, standing in as captain on the last three of those occasions in the absence of usual captain Charles Lyttelton.
Evers played for Moseley Rugby Club as a scrum-half and was also Worcestershire squash champion three times. He served with the RAF and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in World War Two.
Evers was born in Pedmore, Stourbridge then Worcestershire, he died at the age of 94 at his home in Devon. He was Worcestershire's oldest living cricketer at the time of his death.[1]
