Theodore Rathbone Hubback (17 December 1872 in Liverpool, England – 1942 in Malaya) was an English engineer, conservationist and author in what is now Malaysia.[1][2] A wicket-keeper, he played first-class cricket for Lancashire in 1892.[3]
Life
He was the son of Joseph Hubback, a Liverpool merchant who was Lord Mayor of the city in 1870, and brother of Arthur Benison Hubback. He studied at University College, Liverpool, and then went to Selangor where his brother was, in 1895.[1]
Career in cricket
After playing two matches for the Lancashire second XI in June 1892, he first played for the first XI against Durham on 8 July.[4] He made his first-class debut for Liverpool and District against Yorkshire a few days later.[5]
