Cyril Tyler

Cyril Tyler (26 January 1911 – 25 January 1996) was an English academic and cricketer. He played for Gloucestershire between 1936 and 1938. He took 33 wickets, with his career best performance was 5 for 116 against Middlesex at Lord's. He started his career in the Heavy Woollen League in his native Ossett, Yorkshire, which led to speculation about a future selection in the England cricket team.

After retirement from cricket, Tyler transitioned into the academia as a professor of agricultural chemistry at Cirencester Agricultural College in 1939. He later became the Vice-Chancellor of Reading University in 1968, holding this role until his retirement in 1976. He was married to Rita Tyler.
