Mohotti Kankanange Albert (10 September 1895 – 1944) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Ceylon from 1926 to 1934.
A right-handed opening batsman with an unorthodox style and limitless patience, Mohotti Albert was one of Ceylon's leading batsmen in the 1920s and early 1930s.[1] In 1925 he set a record for the annual match between the Europeans and the Ceylonese, one of the major domestic matches in Ceylon at the time, scoring 175 for the Ceylonese; he broke his own record in 1929 by scoring 188.[2]
Albert made his highest first-class score when he scored 66 and 42 for Dr J Rockwood's Ceylonese XI against the touring Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagram's XI in 1930–31.[3] He toured India in 1932-33 on Ceylon's first tour, scoring 227 runs in five matches at an average of 22.70.[4]
Albert worked in the Audit Department of Ceylon Government Railways.[1]
