Philip Geoffrey Elwin Nash CBE (20 September 1906 – 8 December 1982) was an English civil servant who worked in India and Burma during colonial rule and a broadcasting administrator at the British Broadcasting Corporation. He also played first-class cricket. He was born at Accrington, Lancashire, and died at Old Basing, Hampshire.
Nash was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. He was educated at St Paul's School, London and at Worcester College, Oxford University.
Nash played minor counties cricket for Berkshire, making his debut for the county in the 1924 Minor Counties Championship against Northumberland. He made eighteen further appearances for Berkshire, the last of which came against Oxfordshire in the 1930 Minor Counties Championship.[1] He made just a single first-class appearance for Oxford University against Lancashire at the University Parks in 1928.[2] In a match which Lancashire won by an innings and 80 runs, Nash was dismissed for 2 runs by Frank Watson in Oxford University's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 14 runs by Ted McDonald.[3]
