Richard Lancelot Deane Wodehouse (born 30 May 1892 in Chippenham, Wiltshire; died 20 May 1940 in Cookham, Berkshire) was an English born cricketer.[1] Though born in England, his entire recorded cricket career took place in Asia.

[edit] 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.[2]

He returned to play two more matches for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1922 and 1923,[2] before playing three first-class matches in the Bombay Quadrangular tournament in India.[3]
