About Nigel Howard

Nigel David Howard was an English cricketer, who played for Lancashire and England. Born in Gee Cross, Hyde, Cheshire, he captained England on the tour to India in 1951–52. In the only four Test matches he played in, England won one and drew three, although the series was tied after the Fifth Test was lost. Howard was chosen to lead the side to the sub-continent largely because he was the best available amateur and a successful leader of Lancashire (1949–53).
