description: "John Thomas Ikin was an English cricketer, who played in eighteen Test matches from 1946 to 1955. A \"calm, popular left-hander who also bowled leg spin\", Ikin played most of his cricket for Lancashire. He was a solid left-handed batsman whose statistically modest Test record underplayed his contribution to the team as a sturdy foil to such players as Bill Edrich, Len Hutton and Denis Compton."
