The son of Major–General St George Daniel Showers, he was born in January 1848 at Fort William in British India. He was educated in England at Cheltenham College and Wellington College.[1][2] He made his debut in first-class cricket for the South in the North v South fixture of 1877 at Hull. Four years later, he made two further first-class appearances for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Kent and Hampshire, with both matches played at Lord's.[3] He later became a tea planter in Assam.[2]
