Roger Malcolm Prideaux (born 31 July 1939)[1] is an English former cricketer, who played in three Tests for England from 1968 to 1969.
Life and career
Prideaux was educated at
Pakistan, but was dropped thereafter.[3]
In 1967, Prideaux was elected as the first chairman of the fledgling
Orange Free State in the early 1970s, and later emigrated to South Africa.[1]
His former wife Ruth (1930–2016) (née Westbrook) was also involved in international cricket, managing and coaching the England women's cricket team. Under her maiden name, she had earlier played eleven Tests between 1957 and 1963.[1] They are one of the few married couples who have both played Test cricket.
