Arthur Povey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Povey (16 May 1886 – 13 February 1946) was an English cricketer.

Born in West Bromwich, Povey moved to Kent and appeared in five first-class matches for Kent County Cricket Club as a wicket-keeper in 1921 and 1922.[1] However, he could not secure a place in the first-team owing to the presence of Jack Hubble, and later Les Ames. He was released after the 1924 season.[2]

Povey committed suicide at his home in Tonbridge in 1946.[3]
