Geoffrey MacLaren (28 February 1883 – 14 September 1966) was an English cricketer[1] who played first-class cricket for Lancashire[2] in addition to playing three matches for Egypt.[3] His elder brothers Archie and James also played for Lancashire,[4] [5] as did his uncle Alexander Rowley.[6] Archie also played Test cricket for England.
Born in Whalley Range, Manchester in 1883, Geoffrey MacLaren was educated at Harrow.[7] He played his only two first-class matches for Lancashire during the 1902 English cricket season,[8] both under the captaincy of elder brother Archie.
He later lived in Egypt for a time, playing for Cairo against I Zingari in March 1914, followed by three matches for the Egyptian national side against the same opposition. He died in Sussex in 1966.
