Francis Hugh Mugliston (7 June 1886 in Singapore – 3 October 1932 in Mayfair, Westminster, London, England) was an English cricketer.[1] A right-handed batsman and right-arm slow-medium bowler, he played first-class cricket for various teams between 1905 and 1911, mainly for Cambridge University.[2]

Career

Mugliston's first recorded cricket match was for the Straights Settlements against the Federated Malay States in February 1905.[3] The same year, he made his first-class debut, playing for Cambridge University against Warwickshire and Gloucestershire,[4] also playing three matches for the Lancashire Second XI that year.[3]

He played twice more for Cambridge University in 1906, also playing two County Championship matches for Lancashire against Somerset and Sussex that year. He played several first-class matches for the University side in 1907 and 1908, gaining his blue in both years.[4] He also represented the university at golf and football.[5]

He played his final five matches for Lancashire in 1933, following which he played first-class cricket sporadically between 1909 and 1911, including one match for the MCC.[4]
