Shand was born at Old Charlton. He was educated at Harrow School.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of England against a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities Past and Present cricket team at The Oval in 1874.[2] Two years later, he appeared twice in first-class cricket, appearing the South in the North v South and for the Gentlemen of the South against the Players of the North.[2] His final two first-class appearances came in 1889 for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University, and for A.
