While studying at the University of Cambridge he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the British Army cricket team at Fenner's in 1921.[1] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for a single run in the Cambridge first-innings by William Dickinson, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Tom Jameson.
