Aubrey Maurice Sinden (16 November 1917 – 13 January 1988) was an English first-class cricketer.
Sinden was born at East Grinstead in November 1917. During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Air Force.[1] While serving in British India shortly after the war, Sinden played one first-class cricket match for the Europeans cricket team against the Hindus at Bombay in the 1945–46 Bombay Pentangular.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 20 runs in the Europeans first innings by Dattu Phadkar, while in their second innings he opened the batting and was run out for 56 runs, sharing in an opening partnership of 75 alongside Reg Simpson.[3] Sinden returned to England after the war, where he played club cricket for East Grinstead Cricket Club and football for East Grinstead Town as a centre-forward.[4][1]
Outside of sport, Sinden was by profession an accountant.[5] He was also involved in local politics in East Grinstead and was a candidate for election in 1953.[4] Sinden died in January 1988 at Copthorne, Sussex.[6]
