Charles Sears

Charles Sears (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Surrey during the 1750s and 1760s.

Career

Sears is mentioned twice in 1761 when he twice acted as a given man, a sign of a very good player. On Wednesday, 1 July, he played for Chertsey versus Dartford at Laleham Burway.^[1] He then played for Hampton as a given man in their match against Chertsey at the same venue on Monday, 28 September.^[1]

As Sears had established his reputation by 1761, he must have been active for some years previously but it was a period when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
