Charles Augustus Rocke (born 5 October 1800) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Kent, MCC and Cambridge University in six matches from 1822 to 1828, totalling 47 runs with a highest score of 16 and taking 5 victims with 6 wickets..[1][2]
Rocke was educated at Eton and Jesus College, Cambridge.[3] His later life is not known, but in 1830 he was cited as a "bankrupt" in a notice in The Times.[4] He apparently emigrated in 1849 to Borneo, where his second cousin James Brooke was Rajah of Sarawak.[3]
