Kenneth Roy Rickards (22 August 1923 – 21 August 1995) was a West Indian international cricketer who played in two Test matches from 1948 to 1952. He was born in Rollington Town in Jamaica and made his first class debut in 1946.[1]

He played as a professional in the Lancashire League for Haslingden in 1951 in one game, and was brought back to Jamaica by public subscription for the 1953/4 tour by the MCC. However he failed in the final tour match and did not make the Test side.[2]
