Jack Nash (born Albert Nash; 18 September 1873 – 6 December 1956) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace off-break bowler who played for Glamorgan. He was born in Blean and died in Battersea.
Originally a member of Cardiff Cricket Club in 1900, he quickly became a regular for the side, taking 12 for 77 in 1903, with his combination of expert spin and medium-pace. Nash left Cardiff in 1911, moved to Lancashire, to play for Haslingden, and later to Cardiff to play for Uddingston, where he stayed until 1919.
He made his first-class debut in Glamorgan's first County Championship match, against Sussex in May 1921.[1] At 47 years and 271 days old he was the oldest man ever to make his Championship debut.[2] Nevertheless, he was Glamorgan's leading bowler in 1921, taking 90 wickets – more than twice as many as anyone else for the county that year – at an average of 17.34.[3] He played on in 1922, then retired. He became a first-class umpire in 1926, a position he held until 1930.
Nash was a tailend batsman throughout his career, alongside team-mates such as one-time county cricketer Sam Lowe, who had over 50 Minor Counties appearances to his credit, and later in his career, the likes of Harry Creber.
