He played 31 games for Cambridge University, Worcestershire and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in the early twentieth century.
[1] He served in the Royal Army Chaplains' Department in the First World War and was awarded the Military Cross in the 1919 Birthday Honours for distinguished service in France and Flanders.
Two weeks later he made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire, though he bowled only a single over (which cost ten runs) and managed 6 and 13 with the bat.
[7] 1908 was Lyttelton's most productive season, as in ten matches (all but one for Cambridge; the other was for Worcestershire) he took a total of 47 wickets, including 5–75 against Sussex.
Lyttelton played his last three first-class matches in 1910: two for Worcestershire and his one and only appearance for MCC, a badly rain-affected game against his old university in which he neither batted nor bowled.
