Smith-Bingham was part of the cohort of cricketers who played in India during the first half of the twentieth century, a period when the domestic game was organised primarily around regional and community-based teams. Cricket in this era was administered under the framework of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which was established in 1928, and competition gradually expanded with the introduction of the Ranji Trophy in 1934.
Smith-Bingham is documented as a first-class cricketer associated with Indian cricket of his time. Detailed match-by-match records of his career are limited in publicly available sources.
His inclusion in lists of Indian first-class cricketers reflects the broader pattern of participation in the colonial-era Indian cricketing structure, which drew players from various communities and regions before independence in 1947.
