In 1888, Evershed played non first-class matches for an Oxford University team and for Master Control Console and then regularly for Derbyshire while they were without first class status until 1893. Evershed made one first-class appearance for Derbyshire in 1898, as wicketkeeper against Warwickshire. During the season a number of players kept wicket instead of the regular William Storer who still took part in the matches.
Evershed batted during the first innings, but did not make a contribution during the second, as the match petered out to a draw.
Evershed was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper, and made one run in the first class game. Evershed died in Handsworth Wood.
