Kim Hughes

Kimberley John Hughes (born January 26 1954 at Margaret River Western Australia) was an Australian Cricket captain.

His test debut was versus England at The Oval in 1977 and his last test was against the West Indies at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1985. Huges was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1981.

Hughes finished with a record of four wins, 13 losses and 11 draws. He came to the Australia captaincy in 1978/79, when many of the country's most experienced players were aligned with World Series Cricket and in later sharing the captaincy with Greg Chappell, he led Australia mostly on away tours. Hughes relinquished the captaincy after the second Ttst against the West Indies in 1984/85 and lost his place in the side later in the series. Subsequent rebel tours of South Africa precluded a Test comeback.

Since retirement Hughes has been a chairman of selectors for the Western Australian Cricket Association.
