Howard John Pocock (8 April 1921 – 10 August 2003) was an English amateur cricketer.
His highest score of 34 was made against Yorkshire in 1947, part of a fourth-wicket partnership of 97 runs with Arthur Fagg on a difficult, rain-affected pitch.
[7][8] Pocock was also Club Chairman during the period of World Series Cricket, and at the start of the 1978 season told four leading players, Derek Underwood, Bob Woolmer, Alan Knott and Asif Iqbal that their contracts would not be renewed for 1979.
[9][10][11] In 1982 Knott, Underwood and Woolmer were once again the subject of consideration by the Kent committee after touring South Africa with a rebel England side.
Once again the players' contracts were almost cancelled, but the committee considered it too expensive to do so; Pocock spoke in favour of the trio continuing to play for Kent.
