Richard Stringer (born 15 March 1772; date of death unknown) was an English professional cricketer from Leicester.[1] He made several known appearances from 1789 to 1803 in historically important matches.[note 1]
Career
Stringer played mostly for Leicestershire & Rutland, and he was a member of the combined Nottinghamshire & Leicestershire team at Lord's in July 1803.[2]
Notes
- ^ Any match listed in the ACS' Important Match Guide (1981) is historically important, and therefore of the highest standard, whether or not a scorecard might exist. The same applies to numerous matches discovered by researchers since 1981.[3]
