Wakeland (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket for London Cricket Club during the 1730s.
Career
Wakeland is mentioned in two contemporary reports. He played in a single wicket match on Monday, 11 August 1735 for Three of London against Four of London at Kennington Common. In June 1736, he and George Oldner played in a single wicket match for London against two "famous" Richmond players who are "esteemed the best two in England".
As Wakeland had established his reputation by 1735, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1720s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Wakeland.
