John Miller Groves (21 July 1914 â 19 January 1996) was a Jamaican cricket player and administrator who played first-class cricket for Jamaica from 1935 to 1950.
After attending St George's College in Kingston, Groves worked as an accountant. He played two first-class matches as an opening batsman for Jamaica against MCC in 1934-35, and one as a middle-order batsman and wicket-keeper against the touring Yorkshire team in 1935-36. After the war, he captained a young Jamaican team on its two-match tour of Trinidad in 1949-50, making his highest first-class score of 38 in the second match, batting at number four. He also captained a Jamaica Colts side against British Guiana in a five-day non-first-class match in 1956-57.
Groves later served as Secretary to the West Indies Cricket Board of Control. He also represented Jamaica at football and was a football referee.
Groves was a Roman Catholic. He married Irma Maxwell in 1940, and they had a son and a daughter. He died in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, in 1996.
