Alan Fraser (13 July 1892 — 28 August 1962) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.
Fraser was born at Perth in July 1892. He was educated at Merchiston Castle School.[1] He played club cricket for Perthshire until 1913,[2] before moving to Forfarshire in 1914.[3] He served in the British Army during the First World War with the Mechanised Transport Corps.[4] [5] Following the war, he resumed playing club cricket for Forfarshire and was selected to play for Scotland in a first-class cricket match against Ireland at Dublin in 1921.[6] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed for 9 runs in the Scottish first innings by Wentworth Allen. He bowled seven wicketless overs in the Irish first innings.[7] He was described by the Perthshire Advertiser in 1924 as a "great slip fielder".[8] Having captained Forfarshire, he resigned the captaincy in 1927.[9]
Fraser was president of Forfarshire Cricket Club during the Second World War and was instrumental in the continuation of cricket in the county, with matches played at Forthill.[10] Outside of cricket, he was the managing director of Peter McIntyre Ltd., auctioneers and live stock salesmen.[11] Fraser died at Dundee in August 1962. His brother was the cricketer and rugby union player William Lovat Fraser.
