Ken Lewis was a fast bowler from Montgomeryshire whose career was hampered by injury.[2] While serving in the Royal Artillery during his national service in the late 1940s he took wickets regularly for services teams, and was signed by Glamorgan in 1950.[2] He appeared in 36 first-class matches over seven seasons before a serious leg injury ended his career in 1956.[2] He scored 312 runs with a highest score of 34 and took 55 wickets with a best performance of 4 for 25 in Glamorgan's innings victory over Kent in 1953.[1][3]

After his playing career ended, Lewis returned to Montgomeryshire.[2]
