Andrew Wingfield Digby

Canon Andrew Richard Wingfield Digby (born 27 July 1950) is a Church of England priest and former English cricketer.

Wingfield Digby made nine List-A appearances for the Combined Universities from 1975 to 1977, his final List A match coming against Nottinghamshire in the 1977 Benson and Hedges Cup.

He also represented the Minor Counties in a single List A match against Somerset in the 1989 Benson and Hedges Cup.

Wingfield Digby captained Dorset in 1988 when they won their first trophy, the Minor Counties one-day competition, beating Cambridgeshire by two wickets in the final.

He attracted widespread controversy during the season when he instructed one of his bowlers to bowl 14 consecutive wides, conceding 60 runs, including 56 extras, in an over, in order to turn a Minor Counties Championship match against Cheshire that had been heading for a draw into a close contest.

[2][3][4] Wingfield Digby twice scored centuries in the Church Times Cricket Cup Final to win the competition for the Oxford team: 104 not out in 1994 and 106 in 1997.

[6] Between 1991 and 2001 he was official chaplain to the English cricket team, having been appointed to the post by Ted Dexter, who created the position.
