Nicholas Vere-Hodge MB, FRCS, BCh, LRCP [1] [2] (31 October 1912 – 7 December 2005) was an English cricketer and Royal Air Force officer. In cricket, Vere-Hodge was a right-handed batsman who fielded occasionally as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Woodford Green, Essex.
He made his first-class debut for Essex in the 1936 County Championship against Kent. He made 22 further first-class appearances for Essex, the last of which came against Gloucestershire in the 1939 County Championship. [3] In his 23 first-class appearances, he scored 713 runs at an average of 22.28, in the process making 3 half centuries and 2 centuries. [4] His highest score of 108 came against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in the 1937 County Championship. [5] This season, in which he featured in 12 first-class matches, was also his most successful with the bat, with Hodge scoring 509 runs at an average of 26.78. [6] The start of World War II after the 1939 season brought an end to his first-class career.
