Donald McDonald (22 February 1887 — 29 June 1961) was an English first-class cricketer of Scottish descent.
McDonald was born in February 1887 at Chard, Somerset. He was educated at Taunton School, before matriculating to the University of Edinburgh.[1] A club cricketer for Carlton,[2] he was selected to play for the Scottish cricket team in a single first-class match against Ireland at Edinburgh in 1913.[3] Playing as a slow left-arm orthodox bowler in the Scottish side, McDonald met with success in the Irish first-innings by taking figures of 5 for 51, in addition to taking the wicket of Bob Lambert. Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 6 runs in the Scottish first innings by Basil Ward, while in their second innings he was not required to bat.[4] McDonald served in the First World War as a captain in the Somerset Light Infantry, with attachment to the 20th (Light) Division in 1918.[1] McDonald died in June 1961 at Southbourne, Hampshire.
