Francis Hugh Mugliston OBE (7 June 1886 – 3 October 1932) was an English cricketer.[1] A right-handed batsman and right-arm slow-medium bowler, he played first-class cricket for various teams between 1905 and 1911, mainly for Cambridge University.[2] He was an all-round sportsman at Cambridge University where he won Blues for cricket, Association football and golf.[3]
Career
Born 7 June 1886 in Singapore, Mugliston was educated at Rossall School and at Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3] He was captain of the Cambridge football team and also played soccer for Corinthian F.C., the amateur club, including a tour of South Africa with the team in 1907.[3]
Mugliston's first recorded cricket match was for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in February 1905.[4] The same year, he made his first-class debut, playing for Cambridge University against Warwickshire and Gloucestershire,[5] also playing three matches for the Lancashire Second XI that year.[4]
He played twice more for Cambridge University in 1906, also playing two County Championship matches for Lancashire against Somerset and Sussex that year. He played several first-class matches for the University side in 1907 and 1908, gaining his blue in both years.[5] He also represented the university at golf and football.[6]
He played his final five matches for Lancashire in 1908, following which he played first-class cricket sporadically between 1909 and 1911, including one match for the MCC.[5]
After cricket
After leaving Cambridge, he studied law and was called as a barrister to the Inner Temple in 1911; instead of practising law, however, he joined the Sudan civil service, though he was soon invalided home after catching dysentery.[3] He joined the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry in September 1914 and was severely wounded at Ypres the following year.[3] Discharged from the army, he joined the Aliens branch of the Home Office and was deputy chief inspector of the Aliens department at the time of his death.[3] He died 3 October 1932 in Mayfair, London.
