Bertrand Nigel Bosworth-Smith CSI[1] (20 June 1873 – 19 February 1947) was a British administrator in India and English cricketer.
Born at Harrow, Bosworth-Smith was educated at Harrow School, before attending Magdalen College, Oxford.[2] While attending Oxford, Bosworth-Smith made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1895, playing once for the university that year against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).[3] He also made what would be his only first-class appearance for Middlesex in 1895, playing against Nottinghamshire in the County Championship.[3] He played twice more for Oxford University in 1896,[3] graduating in 1897 a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.).[2] He played in two first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1897 against county opposition, with both matches played at Lord's.[3]
He was appointed to the Indian Civil Service, which saw his appointment as an Assistant Commissioner in the Punjab.[1] He played two first-class matches while in India for the Europeans cricket team in the Bombay Presidency against the Parsees in August and September 1900.[3] Bosworth-Smith had returned home to England by 1901, where he made two further first-class appearances for the MCC at Lord's.[3] Returning to India, his final appearance in first-class cricket came for the Gentlemen of India against a touring Oxford University Authentics team in 1903.[3] He would later play for Dorset in a Minor Counties Championship match in 1909.[4]
He was married to Mary Constance Bett in June 1912, later divorcing.[2] He was a Companion to the Order of the Star of India for his service in the Indian Civil Service.[1] He died at Hove, Sussex on 19 February 1947. His uncle, Archie Wickham, was also a first-class cricketer.
