Frank Dutnall

Frank Dutnall (30 March 1895 – 24 October 1971) was an English professional cricketer. Dutnall was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace.

Born at Canterbury in Kent in 1895, Dutnall was the youngest son of pub landlord William Dutnall and his wife Amy. He worked as a clerk in a coal merchant's business. Dutnall first played for Kent Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship in 1912, and was soon a team regular. He was the leading run-scorer for the Second XI in 1914, scoring a century against Surrey Second XI.

During World War I he worked initially as a civilian clerk in the Cavalry Record Office in Canterbury before being enlisted in the same role in 1915. He was discharged in July 1916 and any further war service is unknown.

After the war Dutnall returned to cricket, making his first-class cricket debut in July 1919 for Kent against Middlesex at Maidstone. He made three further first-class appearances during the 1920 season and continued to play regularly for the Second XI until the end of the 1921 season. After one season as the professional at Church Cricket Club in 1929 his professional career came to an end, although he played regularly again for Burnley from 1938 until the 1942 season.
