Duncan Frederick Vines CBE (1869 – 7 March 1950), was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Indian Navy officer.
Born at Agra, Vines was an officer in the Royal Indian Navy. He made his debut in first-class cricket while serving in British India, playing for the Europeans against the Parsees at Bombay in August 1897.[1] He played cricket in Wales in 1899, playing four matches for Monmouthshire in the 1899 Minor Counties Championship, with Vines appearing once more for Monmouthshire in 1901.[2] His service in the Royal Indian Navy returned him to British India at some point after these matches, where he played two further first-class matches for the Europeans in September 1908 against the Parsees and the Hindus.[1] He batted in six innings across his three first-class matches, scoring 38 runs with a high score of 21.[3] He held the rank of Captain in June 1918, serving as a port officer in Calcutta.[4] He was made a CBE in the 1918 Birthday Honours.[4] Vines was placed on the retired list in March 1935.[5] He died in England at Tunbridge Wells in March 1950.
