The eleventh of thirteen children of The Reverend Lancelot Sanderson and his wife, Katherine, he was born at Elstree in March 1884.[1] Sanderson was educated at Malvern College, before matriculating to King's College, Cambridge.[2] After graduating, he went to British India where he was a merchant.[1] While in India, Sanderson played first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team in the 1905–06 Bombay Presidency Match against the Hindus at Bombay.[3] Sanderson served in the First World War, being commissioned as a lieutenant in September 1914 and later joining the Worcestershire Regiment.[4] He sailed to take part in the Gallipoli campaign in July 1915, gaining the rank of captain during the campaign.[1] Having survived the ill-fated allied campaign, Sanderson married Eileen Rendall in January 1917.[5]
Following the war, he returned to British India as a merchant. There he played a further first-class match for the Europeans against the Parsees in the 1920–21 Bombay Quadrangular Tournament at Bombay.[3] In his two first-class matches, he scored 9 runs with a highest score of 5 not out.[6] Sanderson had returned to England by 1939, where he was resident at Brockley Hill at Hertfordshire, and was a wine merchant managing director.[1] He died in September 1957 at Tenterden, Kent. He was survived by his wife, who died 22 years later.[1]
