William Rashleigh (cricketer)

[1] He was born at Farningham in Kent and died at Balcombe in Sussex.

He played in the Tonbridge School XI from 1882 to 1885, and made his first-class debut for Kent on 24 August 1885.

In July 1886 he joined Kingsmill Key in a stand of 243, a record first-wicket partnership at that time in a Varsity Match; both batsmen hit centuries, but no other batsman in the innings reached double figures.

The right-handed batsman's top score of 163 was made against Middlesex in June 1896.
