Richard Lancelot Deane Wodehouse (30 May 1892 – 20 May 1940) was an English cricketer.[1] Born in Chippenham, Wiltshire, his entire recorded cricket career took place in Asia. He was one of three brothers of the author P. G. Wodehouse.[2]
Wodehouse died in Cookham, Berkshire, in 1940, leaving a widow, Winifred Baker Wodehouse, and property valued at £1,920. His address at death was given as Woodlands, Cookham Dean.[3] [1]
In April 1919, Wodehouse made his debut for the Straits Settlements, playing against the Federated Malay States in Singapore. The following year, he played twice for Hong Kong; against Malaya and a combined Shanghai/Malaya team.[4]
He returned to play two more matches for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1922 and 1923, before playing three first-class matches in the Bombay Quadrangular tournament in India for the Europeans.[5]
