Richard Lancelot Deane Wodehouse (30 May 1892 – 20 May 1940) was an English cricketer.[1] Born in Chippenham, Wiltshire, his entire recorded cricket career took place in Asia. He was one of three brothers of the author P. G. Wodehouse.[2] He died in Cookham, Berkshire in 1940.[1]

Career

In April 1919, Wodehouse made his debut for the Straits Settlements, playing against the Federated Malay States in Singapore. The following year, he played twice for Hong Kong; against Malaya and a combined Shanghai/Malaya team.[3]

He returned to play two more matches for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1922 and 1923,[3] before playing three first-class matches in the Bombay Quadrangular tournament in India.[4]
