Arthur William Trollope Daniel (3 January 1841 – 26 January 1873), was an English all-round sportsman and amateur cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1861 to 1869.
Daniel was born at St Pancras, London, the son of William Thomas Shave Daniel. A barrister at Lincoln's Inn, he had been captain of the Harrow Cricket XI and played for its Football XI while at school there. Going up to Trinity College, Cambridge,[1] he was a founder member of the Cambridge University Athletic Club, running in the hurdles race for the university at its first Inter-Varsity sports match in 1864.
After leaving Cambridge, he was mainly associated with Middlesex, as a right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper. He made 37 known appearances in first-class matches.[2] He played for several predominantly amateur teams including the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players series.
He died of tuberculosis at his brother-in-law's house on Victoria Road, Clapham on 26 January 1873, and was buried at West Norwood Cemetery.[1] He is commemorated in one light of a stained glass window at St Mary the Virgin church, Great Wakering, Essex.
