Carleton Tufnell Explained

Carleton Fowell Tufnell (20 February 1856  - 26 May 1940) was an English cricketer.

Born in Northfleet, Tufnell attended Eton College, where he failed to make an appearance for the school's cricket eleven.[1] A medium pace bowler and useful batsman, Tufnell played in eight first-class matches for Kent County Cricket Club, taking 15 wickets and scoring 108 runs.[2] [3]

He moved to India following the 1879 English cricket season, with false reports of his death in Simla reaching England in 1884.
