Born in Swansea, Wales, Bevan played in South Australia's inaugural first-class match, against Tasmania at the newly opened Adelaide Oval in November 1877.[2] Despite taking 14 wickets at an average of 4.21 in South Australia's innings victory over Tasmania, Bevan never played first-class cricket again. He did, however, play a number of non-first-class matches for South Australia between 1877 and 1882,[3] before moving to Melbourne to take up a position with the Melbourne Cricket Club.[2]
