- All-rounder was limited to seven Tests due to apartheid
- Voted Gloucestershire’s greatest overseas player in 2020
Former South Africa all-rounder Mike Procter, the first man to coach his country after their post-apartheid return to international cricket, has died at the age of 77.
Procter was considered one of the most able players of his generation – a powerful hitter, fierce bowler and latterly a wily spinner – but was restricted to just seven Test appearances due to South Africa’s political isolation.
