    Which cricketer, who captained England when he was 23 years old, died at the age of 26?

    Question #44987. Asked by shady shaker.

    sequoianoir

    Monty Bowden at 23 years and 144 days remains England's youngest Test skipper.
    Bowden might seem to have had the cricketing and wider worlds at his feet - but within three years he was dead, officially of epilepsy, although a fall from a cart up-country contributed.

    Shortly afterwards he traveled north to what is now Zimbabwe with Cecil Rhodes Pioneer column, and settled there, before dying in Umtali Hospital - a glorified mud hut where his body had to be protected from marauding lions prior to being interred in a coffin made from whiskey cases.
