Wadsworth was born at Baildon in October 1823. He made his debut in first-class cricket in 1845, when he played twice for Yorkshire against Manchester at Manchester.[1] His next appearance in first-class cricket came over a decade later for the North in the North v South fixture of 1857. He played four first-class matches in 1858, playing in the North v South fixture, as well as appearing for the North against Surrey at The Oval. He also appeared for an All England Eleven against a United All-England Eleven at Lord's, and for a combined Durham and Yorkshire cricket team against Nottinghamshire at Stockton-on-Tees.[1] His final two first-class appearances came in 1861 and 1862, both for Yorkshire.[1] In nine first-class matches, Wadsworth scored 107 runs at an average of 8.23, with a high score of 21 not out.[2] He died at Bradford in June 1891.
