George Tyler (cricketer) explained

George Edward Tyler (3 October 1898 – 24 February 1976) was an English cricketer who played for Warwickshire in one first-class match in 1919.[1] He was born in Yardley, Birmingham and died in Edgbaston.

Tyler was a right-handed batsman for Moseley in the Birmingham and District Cricket League.[1] His single first-class appearance came as an allowed substitute in a non-County Championship match against Worcestershire in which Warwickshire, having an extremely unsuccessful season, tried several amateur players; Tyler took the place of Albert Howell, who had been injured early in the match while bowling.[2] Tyler did not bat, bowl or take any catches during the match, and was not selected by Warwickshire again.
