Kevin Anthony Hayes (born 26 September 1962) is an English former cricketer. Hayes was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. He was born at Thurnscoe, West Riding of Yorkshire.[1]

Hayes made his

Lord's Cricket Ground where he made another half century.[3] His List A debut came in this season when he appeared twice for a Combined Universities team in the Benson & Hedges Cup against Somerset and Essex.[4] He also made two further first-class appearances that season for Lancashire, against the touring Sri Lankans and Worcestershire in the County Championship, as well as a single List A appearance for the county in the John Player League against Worcestershire. Ten further first-class appearances for Oxford University followed in 1982,[3] with Hayes scoring what would be his only century for the university against Warwickshire, with a score of 152.[5] In what was his most successful season in first-class cricket in terms of runs, Hayes also made three first-class appearances for Lancashire,[3] with his thirteen first-class matches in that season bringing him a total of 594 runs at an average of 31.26, with a high score of 152.[6] In one-day cricket, Hayes made four appearances for the Combined Universities in the Benson & Hedges Cup, as well as appearing once for Lancashire in the John Player Special League.[4]

He appeared in just three first-class matches for Oxford University in 1983, while for Lancashire he appeared five times in the

five wicket haul during this season, with figures of 6/58 in a match between Oxford University and Warwickshire.[7] He made just two List A appearances in 1983, one for the Combined Universities against Surrey in the Benson & Hedges Cup and another for Lancashire against the same opposition in the John Player Special League.[4] The following season was his last playing for Oxford University, with him making eight appearances, the last of which saw him play in The University Match at Lord's.[3] In total, Hayes made 26 first-class appearances for the university, scoring 1,009 runs at an average of 22.93.[8] With the ball, he took 17 wickets at a bowling average of 30.11.[9] This season also saw him play his final List A matches for the Combined Universities in the Benson & Hedges Cup, with Hayes making four appearances for the team in that season.[4] In total, he made eleven appearances for the team, scoring 174 runs at an average of 15.81, with a high score of 67,[10] which came against Hampshire in 1984.[11] He also made a handful of appearances for Lancashire that year. Continuing to play for Lancashire, he made five first-class appearances in 1985,[3] scoring 310 runs at an average of 44.28, with a high score of 117. This was his only century for Lancashire and came against Somerset at Old Trafford.[12] He made three List A appearances for the county that season, which represented his last appearances in that format for Lancashire.[4] His total of eight List A appearances for the county bought him little success, with Hayes scoring just 64 runs at an average of 16.00 and a high score of 53.[10] He made just one further appearance for the county, in a first-class match in 1986 against Glamorgan.[3] He played eighteen first-class matches for Lancashire, scoring 586 runs at an average of 25.47.[8]

He later joined

Minor Counties Championship[13] and six MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.[14] He also made two List A appearances, against Worcestershire in the 1988 NatWest Trophy and Lancashire in the 1989 NatWest Trophy.[4]
