Eric Joseph Hewitt (19 December 1935 – 2008) was an English first-class cricketer who played in one match for Warwickshire in 1954 and in another single game for the Combined Services in 1957.[1] He was born in Erdington, Birmingham; the exact date and the place of his death are not known.
A right-handed lower order batsman and a right-arm leg-break and googly bowler, Hewitt scored 40 in his only Warwickshire innings and also took his only first-class wicket in his solitary game for the county, against Oxford University in 1954.[2] For the Combined Services against Warwickshire in 1957, he batted in the middle order but did not bowl.[3] He played fairly regularly for Warwickshire's second eleven in the 1958 Minor Counties Championship, but was only intermittently successful as a bowler and not at all as a batsman.[1]
