George S. Hubert (1912 – 2 June 1974) was a
cricketer who played on Ceylon's
first tour in 1932-33.
Hubert attended Royal College, Colombo. He played for Tamil Union in Colombo as a stylish batsman who sometimes opened, and a brilliant fieldsman.[1][2]
He took part in Ceylon's
India. Nevertheless he impressed I. M. Mansukhani, who reported on the tour for The Cricketer: "He did run risks, but he had no respect for mere names. He was a dashing bat indeed."[1]
Hubert's highest first-class score was 66 against Sir Julien Cahn's XI in 1936-37, his last first-class match.[3] He was unable to go on Ceylon's second tour, to India in 1940-41.[4]
Hubert also represented Ceylon at hockey, playing against India in 1933.[5]
