Peter Clarke (born 19 May 1881 in London; died 14 December 1915 in Dublin[1]) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and leg-break bowler[1], he had a brief, but interesting, career.
In May 1912 he was plucked from virtual obscurity to make his first-class debut in a Test trial match for the England cricket team.[2] He was not selected for the England team, but did play for Ireland against South Africa later that same year. This match was his only match for Ireland.[3]
Following this, he played several first-class matches for the MCC and Middlesex throughout 1913 and 1914[1], before he died in Dublin in December 1915.[1]
