He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, Evetts played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1868 and 1869, making nine appearances.[3] A free hitting batsman,[4] he scored 333 runs for Oxford at an average of 23.78, with a high score of 102.[5] His 102 came against Surrey at The Oval in 1868 and was made in under two hours.[4] Shortly after graduating from Oxford, Evetts appeared for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in first-class cricket in 1870. He played first-class cricket for the MCC until 1882, making thirteen appearances and scoring 198 runs with a high score of 57.[3][5] Evetts was by profession a farmer.[1] He died at Tackley in April 1936.[4] His grandson, Julian Evetts, was also a first-class cricketer.
