Very basic information cannot be verified. I see from the newspaper archives that there are match reports but nothing which fills any gaps here. Unfortunately there just is not enough information to write a page on this person JMWt (talk) 10:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per the long established consensus, this seems to be a clear and obvious redirect to List of Lancashire County Cricket Club players. Don Ambrose has some speculation behind CricketArchive's paywall, but basically says "we don't really know who this was, but it could have been this chap, but probably not". This sort of thing can be boldly redirected in future with a note added to the list. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
