Career
He was known as Aucher Warner. He became in turn Solicitor-General and Attorney-General of Trinidad and Tobago (1918). He left Trinidad for England in 1922.
He not only captained the first combined West Indies side in a first class match in the West Indies (during the 1896-1897 season) but also the first West Indian touring side to England in 1900.
Apparently it was at his suggestion that the Inter-Colonial Tournament was instigated, however he himself only ever played two matches in the competition. He made his debut in important matches playing for Trinidad against Slade Lucas"s side in 1894-1895 scoring 77 in his first innings.
He was captain of the first West Indian touring side to England in 1900 but contracted malarial fever and made only 7 appearances for the tourists.
