Albert John Holmes (30 June 1899 – 21 May 1950) was an English first-class cricketer who had amateur status.
He was a right-handed batsman who rarely bowled and played from 1922 to 1939 for Sussex, captaining the county from 1936 till his retirement.
The team had been selected but the outbreak of the Second World War on 1 September 1939 caused the tour's immediate cancellation.
[2] Holmes' final first-class appearance was in the last match to be completed following the outbreak of war, playing for Sussex against Yorkshire at the County Cricket Ground, Hove, from Wednesday 30 August to Friday 1 September.
From an overnight position of 330/3 in the first innings, chasing a Sussex score of 387, Yorkshire continued on the Friday morning and totalled 392 all out.
