William Bowring (cricketer)

William Bowring (born 1870, date of death unknown) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in the late 19th century.

Bowring was a right-handed batsman. His batting style is generally described as steady and reliable, though he rarely scored large individual totals. He appeared in a limited number of first-class matches, primarily representing Oxford University during his time there. His performances contributed to the University's cricket team efforts, though details of specific match-winning contributions are scant.

His appearances for MCC offered further opportunities to participate in first-class cricket, though his overall career remained relatively brief and he did not achieve widespread recognition within the sport. Limited records exist detailing specifics of his post-cricket life and career.
