Edward Wortley Sinclair (4 January 1889 – 22 December 1966) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.
Born at Paddington in January 1889, Sinclair was commissioned into the Royal Navy as a sub-lieutenant in March 1908. He was promoted to lieutenant in September 1909. Sinclair made his debut in first-class cricket for the Royal Navy Cricket Club against the British Army cricket team at Lord's in 1913.[1] He served in the First World War, during which he was promoted to lieutenant commander in September 1917. Following the war, he made two further first-class appearances for the Royal Navy in 1919, against Cambridge University and the British Army.[1] Playing as a right-arm medium pace bowler, he took a total of 9 wickets in his three matches, with best figures of 4 for 162.[2] He was placed on the retired list at his own request in April 1931, at which point he was granted the rank of commander. Sinclair died at Orpington in December 1966.
