Capel-Cure played just one game for the team, in the 1929 season, as part of a tour of the country by Cambridge University. Capel-Cure was trapped leg-before wicket in his first innings for a duck, and scored just six runs in the second innings of a drawn match.
Capel-Cure's brother-in-law was Gerald Barry, who played one first-class match for the Combined Services in 1922.
Capel-Cure was a landowner in Shropshire and Essex. He was High Sheriff of Essex in 1951-52 and deputy lord-lieutenant of the county from 1958 to 1978. He lived at Blake Hall, near Ongar.
