'''Trevor Victor Hohns''' (born 23 January 1954, [[Nundah, Queensland]]) is a former [[Queensland]] and [[Australia]]n [[cricket]]er who played in seven [[Test cricket|Tests]]Test in 1989 where debuted at the age of 34. Big Trev, uncle of Mark Hohns (Broadbeach Cats Bench-warmer/Waterboy), was largely unheralded during the 1989 Ashes series, which among his wickets included deceiving England's [[Ian Bothammatches]] in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, who was bowled foras a duckspin after missing a charging hoick. Hohns also was a handy late-order batsmanbowler, often batting as high as number six for Queensland in [[Sheffield Shield]] cricket. He finished his first-class career with two centuries and 30 half-centuries from 152 matches, though 40 was hislater bestAustralia's Testchairman scoreof among his seven inningsselectors.
 
Earlier in his career when Hohns was a relatively obscure player on the fringes of Queensland cricket, he signed up to play for [[South African rebel tours#Australian tours, 1985–86 and 1986–87|the Rebel Australians during the controversial South African series in 1985/861985–86 and 1986/871986–87]] during the [[Apartheid]] reign. Hohns was one of only two spin bowlers in the touring party, along with former Australian Test left-arm spinner, [[Tom Hogan]]. Hohns was one of the Rebel Australians banned from playing state and Test cricket for the following two years.
 
Hohns played all of his seven tests in 1989, making his international debut at the age of 35. He played in the final two tests of the [[West Indian cricket team in Australia in 1988–89|1988–89 series against the West Indies]], and in five tests of the [[1989 Ashes series]] in England. Although most of the bowling success in that series was due to the fast bowling trio of [[Terry Alderman]], [[Geoff Lawson (cricketer)|Geoff Lawson]] and [[Merv Hughes]], Hohns took 11 wickets, and averaged 31.75 with the bat.<ref>[https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=300;team=2;type=series THE ASHES, 1989 – AUSTRALIA / BATTING AND BOWLING AVERAGES], [[ESPNcricinfo]]</ref>
But Hohns's greatest impact was as an Australian cricket selector, particularly during a decade as chairman, including being in charge for Australia's record breaking 16-Test winning streak and the nation's 1999 and 2003 successful World Cup campaigns. Hohns also made several tough decisions in charge, including ending the careers of [[Ian Healy]] and [[Mark Waugh]] and stripping Steve Waugh of the one-day captaincy. He resigned in early 2006 as chairman of selectors for [[Cricket Australia]] to focus on his sporting goods business and was replaced with fellow selector and former Test cricketer, [[Andrew Hilditch]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000081&sid=a4C5SZxy5OFU&refer=australia|title=Trevor Hohns Quits as Cricket Australia's Chairman of Selectors|date=3 April 2006|publisher=[[Bloomberg Television|Bloomberg]]|accessdate=4 March 2010}}</ref>
 
Hohns also was a handy late-order batsman, often batting as high as number six for Queensland in [[Sheffield Shield]] cricket. He finished his first-class career with two centuries and 30 half-centuries from 152 matches, though 40 was his best Test score among his seven innings.

On Mar 10 2017 Cricket Australia announced that Hohns was to be Australia's full time selection chairman. This is despite terrible decisions made in his time as interim-chairman in relation to the Marsh's and Matthew Wade.
