Lives of the First World War

Kenelm Arthur Lister-Kaye (27 March 1892 – 28 February 1955) was an English amateur first-class cricketer, who played eight games for Oxford University in 1912, two matches for the Europeans in matches in India in 1920/21 and 1922/23, plus two games for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1928. Born in Kensington, London, England, the son of Sir Cecil Edmund Lister-Kaye, 4th Baronet, he attended Eton College, and played in Fowler's match in 1910. He was a rather wild left-arm swing bowler who narrowly missed his blue as a freshman in 1912. He played for the Yorkshire Second Eleven in 1913. He inherited the family title in 1931, and became Sir Kenelm Lister-Kaye, 5th baronet. He died in February 1955, aged 62, in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town, Cape Province, South Africa.
