Eustace Malden (19 August 1863 – 3 December 1947) was an English cricketer. He played 13 first-class matches, all but one of them for Kent County Cricket Club, between 1892 and 1893.[1][2][3]
Malden was born at Brighton in Sussex in 1863, the son of Clifford and Jane Malden (née Eley). His father was a Rector in the Church of England, serving at St Lawrence's Church in the village of St Lawrence on the Isle of Wight.[2][4] He was educated at Haileybury College, where he played cricket in the school team in 1881 and 1882,[3][5] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1882. He graduated BA in 1885 and became a teacher, working at Bengeo in Hertfordshire until 1888.[4] He played some cricket for Hertfordshire during the late 1880s and also played in minor matches for the Gentlemen of Hampshire in 1885 and Hampshire in 1886.[3][5]
After appearing on one match for the Gentlemen of Kent in May 1892, Malden made his first-class debut for Kent the following month, playing as their wicket-keeper in a County Championship match at Gravesend against Sussex.[3]
