Peter John Wales (30 October 1928 – 3 October 2018) was a former English

Hove Grammar School.[1]

Wales made his debut for

Minor counties cricket for Sussex from 1948 to 1949, which included 13 Minor Counties Championship matches.[2]

Wales made a single

Jimmy Gray, Leo Harrison and Derek Shackleton for the cost of 12 runs from nine overs. He opened the batting in Sussex's first-innings, scoring 29 runs before being bowled by Charles Knott. In Hampshire's second-innings, he took the wickets of Alan Rayment and Richard Carty for the cost of just one run from four overs. He ended Sussex's second-innings unbeaten on 9, with Sussex winning by 10 wickets.[4]
Despite a strong showing in the match, this was Wales' only major appearance for Sussex.

Wales died in Bognor Regis, Sussex on 3 October 2018 at the age of 89.[1]
