Day was a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper. He made his first-class debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University at Lord's in 1958,[1] though he wasn't called upon to bat during the match, he did however take a single catch.[2]

Having played for the Middlesex Second XI since 1955, Day made his first-class debut for Middlesex in 1959, making two appearances against Kent and Cambridge University.[1] He again wasn't required to bat in either of these matches, while behind the stumps he took a total of three catches and made four stumpings.[3] In his Second XI career for the county, which spanned from 1955 to 1960,[4] he never once reached double figures and was considered a genuine number eleven batsman.[5]

He died following a fall at his Fulham home, on 19 January 1971 aged 35.
