About
Sir Basil Eden Garth Eddis (17 September 1881 – 5 November 1971) was an Anglo-Indian businessman from Calcutta who served as president of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 1927 to 1928. He was also a keen sportsman, playing a single match of first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1908, and later representing the Burmese national side in one of its earliest matches. Eddis was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata), as was his younger brother, Bruce Lindsay Eddis, who also played first-class cricket.
