Kinder Houghton Tucker (25 August 1875 – 24 November 1939) was a cricketer and administrator for Wellington. He played four times for New Zealand in the days before New Zealand played Test cricket.
Born in Nelson, New Zealand, he played 40 first-class cricket matches from 1896 to 1920 and, following his retirement, was the long-serving selector for Wellington.[1] He was the first player to score 10,000 runs in senior club and representative cricket in New Zealand.[2] He was the brother of Spencer Tucker and William Tucker.[3]
Tucker died in Wellington, New Zealand, where he worked as an engraver. He was survived by his wife and their daughter.[4]
