Brigadier-General Frank Henry Burnell-Nugent, CB, DSO, OBE (5 September 1880 – 12 March 1942), born Frank Henry Nugent (he changed his surname in 1905), was a British Army officer and an English first-class cricketer.

Military career

Nugent was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own) on 11 November 1899, and promoted to a lieutenant (supernumerary) on 18 December 1900.[1] He received a regular commission as a lieutenant in the 3rd battalion of his regiment in August 1902.[2]

He later became brigadier-general.

Cricket

Nugent was a right-handed batsman who played primarily as a wicketkeeper. He made a single first-class appearance for Hampshire against Worcestershire in the 1904 County Championship. Batting at number eleven, Nugent made two ducks and claimed a single catch behind the stumps to dismiss Frederick Pearson.

Nugent died at Kingsclere, Hampshire on 12 March 1942.
