George Ewbank

George Henry Withers Ewbank (17 October 1839 – 30 April 1885) was an English cricketer. Ewbank's batting and bowling styles are unknown.

Born at Alipore in the British Raj, Ewbank made his debut in first-class cricket for a combined Gentlemen of Kent and Surrey team against the Gentlemen of England in 1855 at Lord's.[1] He later played first-class cricket for Sussex, making three appearances in 1857 against the Marylebone Cricket Club, Surrey, and Kent, before making a final appearance in 1860 against the Marylebone Cricket Club.[1] In his five appearances in first-class cricket, Ewbank scored just 10 runs from ten innings, with a high score of 6.[2]

Ewbank served in the British Indian Army in the Raj, taking part in the Indian Mutiny (1857—58) and its aftermath. He was still serving in the Raj in 1862, as a lieutenant in the Madras Artillery.[3] Between 1862 and 1868, Ewbank served in the Bengal Regiment, though by 1868 he was serving as a second—captain in the Royal Artillery.[4] Ten years later he was still serving in the Royal Artillery, achieving the rank of major.[5] He retired from military service in 1882.[6] He died at West Norwood, Surrey on 30 April 1885. His brother, Christopher, also played first-class cricket. Ewbank's previously undiscovered biography The Ewbank Enquiry was published in 2012.[7]
