Neville Hamilton Rogers (9 March 1918 – 7 October 2003) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Hampshire. An opening batsman, he made nearly 300 appearances in first-class cricket, scoring over 16,000 runs and making 28 centuries. He is considered one of the most accomplished batsman to have played for Hampshire, passing over 1,000 runs per season each year from 1947 until his retirement in 1955. Rogers is considered unfortunate to have not played Test cricket for England, with his selection as 12th man in 1951 the closest he ever came to international honours. Following his playing career, he became a commentator for BBC Radio Solent.
