Esmond Burman Lewis (5 January 1918 – 19 October 1983) was an English wicket-keeper who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire from 1949 to 1958.
Lewis began playing for the Warwickshire Second XI in 1936[1] but had to wait 13 years for his first-class debut.
When he finally played, against Oxford University in 1949, he took eight catches and a stumping, setting a Warwickshire record.
[2] Lewis played as an amateur, and was selected three times between 1954 and 1957 to keep wicket for the Gentlemen against the Players.
[3] Rather than play county cricket full-time, he chose to support his family by concentrating on his successful business career.
