Edward Sweet-Escott
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler. Sweet-Escott had begun playing for Glamorgan during the 1902 Minor Counties Championship season, in which he played regularly between 1904 and 1910. He then took a three-year sabbatical from the game, during which time he took up hockey, securing two Welsh caps.
The following season, both Glamorgan and Wiltshire moved to the South and West division.
Following his sabbatical, Sweet-Escott returned to Minor Counties cricket, but his cricket playing was interrupted by the First World War. He only played one Minor Counties fixture after the war.
During the 1921 season, he made his first and only County Championship appearance in a defeat against Worcestershire, scoring a duck in the first innings, and 13 runs in the second.
