MacLeod was born at Kensington in November 1894. He was educated at Felsted School, where he played for the school cricket team.[1] Shortly after leaving Felsted, MacLeod debuted in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Somerset at Southampton in the 1914 County Championship, with him making four further appearances in that season.[2] He served in the First World War, being commissioned into the Royal Hampshire Regiment as a second lieutenant in September 1914.[3] He returned to play for Hampshire after the war, playing twice in the 1920 County Championship against Essex and Sussex. A hiatus of fifteen years followed before MacLeod next appeared in first-class cricket for Hampshire, with an appearance in the 1935 County Championship against Leicestershire.[2] Following the retirement of George Harvey Muir as Hampshire secretary in January 1936, MacLeod was elected to replace him.[4] Amongst the decisions he took as secretary was to not extend the services of Phil Mead after the 1936 season,[5] and to pursue a membership drive to attract 1,000 new members.[6] He held the post of secretary until 1939.[1] While acting as secretary, he made four further first-class appearances for Hampshire in the 1938 County Championship.[2] In twelve first-class matches, he scored 271 runs at an average of 15.05, with one half century, a score of 87 in 1914.[7] MacLeod died in April 1982 at Broomfield, Essex.[1]
