Lang was educated at
Harrow School, where he
captained the school cricket team in 1908 and 1909. A year prior to captaining the school, Lang had made his debut in
county cricket for
Suffolk against
Hertfordshire in the 1907
Minor Counties Championship, with him making two further appearances for the county in that season. He followed this up by playing three matches for Suffolk in 1908, but played only one match each in 1909 and 1910. He played six first-class matches for Sussex in 1912, as well as making his debut
for Cambridge University (where he was at
Trinity College) against the
Marylebone Cricket Club. He played seven first-class matches for the university in 1913, as well as six for Sussex, most of which came in the latter stages of the
County Championship. He made two
centuries in first-class cricket, both for Sussex. ==War service and disappearance==
