Page "Cyril Walters" Paragraph 5

At the end of 1935 Walters resigned as secretary and captain of Worcestershire, but said he still hoped to play for the county as often as possible.

However, as it turned out, his career was already over as he concentrated on his marriage.

Even when Walters did not appear in first-class cricket in 1936, however, Worcestershire believed he would play regularly in 1937 and complement a bowling attack that in a few years had gone from woeful to excellent.

However, he did not play at all, and by the end of that year Worcestershire finally knew he would not be seen in the cricket field again. He had " married well " and his wife's private income may have played a part in his not playing again. He was a Sham amateur in the days of Gentlemen and players.
