Basil Jordain Ward (6 August 1889 – 29 March 1972) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
[2] Ward served in the British Army during World War I, enlisting in August 1915 as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery.
[3] Surviving the war, he returned to playing club cricket for Dublin University.
[1] He made a final first-class appearance for Ireland against Scotland at Edinburgh in 1920,[2] a year in which he also played minor matches against Cambridge University and Derbyshire at College Park, Dublin.
[5] However, it is a fast-medium bowler that Ward is better remembered, where alongside an impressive club record,[1] he also took 13 first-class wickets at an average of 21.00, with best innings figures of 4 for 66.
