William James Green (1834 – 11 January 1876) was an English cricketer who played in three first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club between 1856 and 1861. He was born at Gravesend in Kent in 1834, the son of William and Rebecca Green (née King).[a][1][2][3]
Green played club cricket for Gravesend Cricket Club regularly and made his debut for Kent against Sussex in 1856. He made two further first-class appearances for the county, in 1859 against a Middlesex team and in 1861 against Cambridgeshire. In first-class matches he scored a total of 17 runs, with the 12 he scored in his second innings on debut his highest score.[4][5] He played in a Kent trial match in 1860 and in 1865 played for the Players of Kent against the Gentlemen of Kent in a match at the Bat and Ball Ground in Gravesend, scoring 23 runs and taking a wicket for his team.[1][5]
A house painter by trade, Green married and had three children with his wife Henrietta.[1][4] He died at Gravesend in 1876 aged 41.[6][7]
