Leycester was mainly associated with Surrey but also represented the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), of which he was a prominent early member. He was an occasional patron of cricket, his own team appearing in a couple of matches.

Leycester played for the Gentlemen in the inaugural and second Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806.

He was educated at Eton but little is known about Leycester. He is not mentioned in Scores & Biographies except in the scorecards.
