Arthur Kenneth Judd (1 January 1904 — 15 February 1988) was an English first-class cricketer and British official in Colonial Nigeria.

Life and first-class cricket

Judd was born at Sunbury-on-Thames in January 1904. He was educated at St Paul's School, before matriculating to St Catharine's College, Cambridge.[1] Judd made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Northamptonshire at Northampton in the 1925 County Championship.[2] He made eleven first-class appearances for Hampshire the following season, after the end of the summer semester at Cambridge,[2] with Judd scoring his maiden century against Warwickshire at Portsmouth,[3] Having played without success at Cambridge in the freshman match during his first year Cambridge, Judd found himself in the Cambridge University team in 1927, largely due Duleepsinhji suffering from illness.[3] He made twelve appearances for Cambridge that season, scoring 667 runs at an average of 39.23;[4] he top-scored in The University Match against Oxford University at Lord's, making 124 in the Cambridge second innings to contribute toward a 116 runs victory.[3] As a result, he gained his blue.[3] Later in the season, he played a handful of County Championship matches.[2]

During the winter which followed, Judd toured the West Indies with

five wicket haul with figures of 6 for 65 against Somerset at Weston-super-Mare in 1928.[3]

While undertaking colonial service, he toured Egypt with Hubert Martineau's XI against the national team, which consisted of British officials. He continued to play minor matches in Nigeria until 1938.[7] Judd died in February 1988 at Abbotskerswell, Devon.[3]
