Laurie John Evans (born 12 October 1987) is an English cricketer, contracted to Sussex County Cricket Club. He was born in Lambeth in London and educated at The John Fisher School and Whitgift School,[1] before attending Durham University, where he played first-class cricket for Durham MCC University. He graduated from Surrey County Cricket Club Academy in 2007. He played three first-class games for Durham UCCE in 2007, and one first-class game for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the touring West Indies later that summer. He was released from Surrey in 2010 having played just three county championship matches for them, and he then signed for Warwickshire later that year.[2]
With Tim Ambrose, Evans set a new Warwickshire county record for a sixth wicket partnership on 1 July 2015. The pair added 327 against Sussex in the County Championship at Birmingham.[3]
In August 2016 he moved to Northamptonshire on a one-month-long loan.[4] In December 2016, Evans signed for Sussex ahead of the 2017 season.[5]
In September 2018, he was named in Kabul's squad in the first edition of the Afghanistan Premier League tournament.[6] The following month, he was named in the squad for the Rajshahi Kings team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.[7] He was the leading run-scorer for the team in the tournament, with 339 runs in eleven matches.[8] In November 2019, he was selected to play for the Dhaka Platoon in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.[9]
On 29 May 2020, Evans was named in a 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11]
