Rowland Wilson (cricketer)
Rowland Alwyn Wilson (18 July 1868 – 1 October 1959) was an English clergyman and a sportsman who represented Cambridge University both in track athletics and in first-class cricket. He was born at Bolsterstone, Yorkshire and died at Hartlebury, Worcestershire. He was the brother of two England Test cricketers: Clem Wilson and Rockley Wilson. Wilson was educated at Rugby School and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was in the cricket team at Rugby as a lower-order right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler. In his three first-class matches at Cambridge University, he was relegated to the tail-end as a batsman and, although economical as a bowler, took only a single wicket. He was not selected for the University Match against Oxford University. He was, however, awarded a Blue for athletics, representing the university in the mile race. Wilson graduated from Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1890, and this converted to a Master of Arts in 1894. ...
