Charles McCausland

Who was Charles McCausland?

Charles Edward McCausland was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler, he played four times for the Ireland cricket team in the 1920s, including two first-class matches against Scotland. He also played first-class cricket for Dublin University.

He made his first-class debut playing for Dublin University against Essex in July 1922. His Ireland debut followed later the same month when he played against Scotland in a first-class match. Almost two years later, he again played first-class cricket for Dublin University, this time against Northamptonshire. This was followed the next month by a match for Ireland against Scotland.

He played two non first-class matches for Ireland in August 1924, both against the MCC. He played one final first-class match for Dublin University, again against Northamptonshire, in 1925, a match that also featured the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett.
