Mike Procter, a fearsome pacer and powerful batter whose cricket career was restricted by an international ban on South Africa because of apartheid has died. He was 77. Cricket South Africa (CSA) said in a statement that it "mourns the passing of Mike Procter, one of the game's greatest all-rounders."

CSA president Rihan Richards called Procter "not just a giant on the field but a beacon of hope and inspiration off it," adding that "Procter's career as a fast bowler, capable off-spinner, hard-hitting middle-order batter, and astute captain is etched in the annals of cricket history."
