Edward James Sanders (6 October 1852 – 27 October 1904) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Edward Andrew Sanders, he was born in October 1852 at Heavitree, Devon.[1] He was educated at Harrow School,[2] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] Sanders did not find a place in either of the cricketing elevens at Harrow or Cambridge, but did represent Cambridge in rackets against Oxford in 1872–74.[3] After graduating from Cambridge, he became a banker and was a partner in the Exeter Bank, until it merged with Prescott's in 1902.[1][3] Sanders was commissioned into the Royal 1st Devon Yeomanry as a cornet in September 1871,[4] and was subsequently promoted to the rank of lieutenant and finally to the rank of captain in October 1881.[5]
A keen amateur cricketer, he led his own personal team on tours to North America in September 1885 and September–October 1886, with the team playing a variety of matches in Canada and the United States, which included first-class matches against the Philadelphian cricket team.[3] Sanders featured in one first-class match against the Philadelphians on the 1885 tour,[6] scoring 3 runs and taking the wicket of Charles Newhall.[7] In his final years he was the honorary secretary and treasurer of Devon County Cricket Club, then in its infancy.[3] Sanders spent the final six years of his life in ill-health, unable to walk long distances.[3] He died at Heavitree in October 1904.
