Neville John Acland Foster (28 September 1890 - 8 January 1978) was an English cricketer who played eight first-class matches for Worcestershire.
He was the youngest of the seven Foster brothers who played for the county, but played only in the 1914 and 1923 seasons as he spent many years in Malaya. [1] His highest score of 40 not out was achieved against Derbyshire in late July 1923.
Foster was born in Malvern, Worcestershire, and died in the same town aged 87.
