Ronald Alexander William Binny (20 November 1910 — 24 May 1979) was an English first-class cricketer and an officer in the British Indian Army, and later the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
Binny was born prematurely at Formby in November 1910.[1] He was educated at The King's School, Canterbury,[2] before attending the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Binny graduated from there onto the unattached list of the British Indian Army as a second lieutenant in January 1930.[3] He made his debut in first-class cricket in India for the Roshanara Club against the Viceroy's XI at Delhi in February 1932.[4] Promotion to lieutenant followed in April 1932,[5] with promotion to captain in August 1938.[6] He made a second appearance in first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team against The Rest at Bombay in the final of the 1940–41 Bombay Pentangular.[4] In two first-class appearances, Binny scored 15 runs with a highest score of 9, whilst going wicketless from thirteen overs.[7] Binny fought in the Second World War with the 9th Jat Regiment.[8] Following the war, he was promoted to major in January 1947,[9] before retiring in August of the following year and being granted the rank of colonel.[10] After his retirement from the British Indian Army, he joined the Royal Auxiliary Air Force as a flight lieutenant in Aircraft Control Branch in March 1949.[11] He was transferred to the Fighter Control Branch in July of the same year,[12] before joining the reserve in March 1954.[13] Binny died at Barnstaple in May 1979.
