Maurice Linton Churchill Foster (born May 9, 1943) played 14 Tests and two One Day Internationals for the West Indies and he was a talented table-tennis player.

After scoring centuries in the last two matches of the 1968–69 season as an opening batsman, he was selected to tour England in 1969.

On the tour he was offered a contract to play county cricket for Kent by Colin Cowdrey.

According to Michael Holding,[2] Foster's career was affected when his wife asked him to choose between her and a tour of India.

The genial Foster was also an excellent table tennis player, and at one time was West Indies champion.
