Sir George Edmond Brackenbury Abell KCIE OBE (22 June 1904 – 11 January 1989) was an English civil servant and cricketer.

[5][6] Abell's first-class debut came for Worcestershire against Essex at Worcester in August 1923; he had a quiet match, claiming no dismissals and scoring 1 and 6 not out.

[7] However, the undoubted highlight of his career was the 210 he scored for Northern India against Army in the first Ranji Trophy in 1934–35, the first double century made in the competition.

His brother-in-law Claude Ashton had had a much more substantial career with Essex and Cambridge, while his uncle Ted Sale turned out a few times for Europeans.

Abell was portrayed by British Actor Michael Byrne in the ITV television Miniseries Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy in 1986, and by Ed Robinson in the Sony LIV Web Series Freedom at Midnight in 2024.
