The son of Henry and Rebecca Myles, he was born at Cape Town in June 1911.[1] Myles made his debut in first-class cricket for Western Province against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Cape Town in November 1930. His second first-class appearance came for Western Province came the following month against Griqualand West. Six years later in 1936, Myles made a third and final appearance in first-class cricket for Rhodesia against Transvaal at Johannesburg.[2] He scored 66 runs at an average of 11.00 in his three first-class matches,[3] with his highest score of 35 coming against the touring MCC.[1]
