The son of Maitland Fitzroy Kindersley (and great-grandson of Richard Torin Kindersley), he was born at Ferozepore in British India. He was educated in England at Harrow School.[1] He played minor counties cricket for Dorset in 1911 and 1912, making ten appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[2] Kindsersley served in the British Army during World War I, entering with the rank of second lieutenant.[3] By June 1917, he held the rank of temporary captain in the Dorset Regiment.[4] After the war, Kindersley was seconded to the Royal Hampshire Regiment in 1919.[5]
He later transferred to the British Indian Army, where he served with the permanent rank of captain.[6] While serving in India, he made his debut in first-class cricket for the Europeans against the Hindus at Lahore in March 1928.[7] Days after the conclusion of this match, he played for the Punjab Governor's XI against Northern India.[7] He made a third and final first-class appearance for Northern India against the Indian Army in the 1934–35 Ranji Trophy.[7] He scored 33 runs across his three matches, with a top score of 14.[8] He returned to England at some point after 1934, where he died at Tenterden, Kent, in August 1958, just shy of his 65th birthday.
