Biography

Born in Clydach in 1910,[2] Richard Parkhouse started his cricket career playing for his local club and Llanelli in the 1930s before becoming a teacher in Egypt.[1] Whilst in Egypt, he played for the Egyptian national side against HM Martineau's XI in Cairo in April 1939, scoring a century in the first innings.[4]

In July of that year, he played his only two first-class matches for Glamorgan against Hampshire and Surrey.[5] After World War II, he played two matches for Nigeria against the Gold Coast in Lagos[6] and eventually became a coach in Scotland.[1]
