Gilbert Ashton, English cricketer (d. 1981)

Gilbert Ashton MC (27 September 1896 – 6 February 1981) was an English cricketer who played 62 first-class matches between the wars, mostly for Cambridge University (whom he captained in 1921, and also captained at football) and Worcestershire. His obituary in Wisden called him "a fine, aggressive stroke-player" and praised his fielding ability at cover point.

His bowling was of the occasional variety, and after he left Cambridge became essentially non-existent.
