Frost was born in Wirksworth, the son of George Frost, a farmer/builder, and his wife Mary. He became a joiner[1] and played cricket for Wirksworth - taking part in matches against All England XI in 1868 and 1870
Frost played for Derbyshire in the 1873 season in a miscellaneous match against Nottinghamshire. He made his debut and only first-class appearance during the 1874 season, a victory against Kent. Frost was an upper-order batsman and played alongside his brother George Frost for a 41-run second-wicket partnership.[2] His brother had first played for Derbyshire two years previously and had a much longer career, playing 37 games between 1872 and 1880.
