Not sure, but...

Both of them retired on the same day - 16th March, after having played 15 years for their country.

John Wright in 1993, and Patsy Hendren in 1935.

Here's another guess. Both of them were the first players for their respective countries to score a century against all nations their country had played against then.

I think the original name you gave was right i.e. Percy Hendren.

Cricinfo doesn't have any Percy Hendren on their record.

Only two Hendrens have played for England - Denis Hendren and EH "Patsy" Hendren, according to CI.
