About Charles Prince (cricketer)

  • Charles Frederick Henry Prince (11 September 1874 in Boshof, Orange Free State – 2 February 1949 in Wynberg, Cape Province) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1899. Prince was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper who played from 1894 for Western Province.
  • He later played for both Border and Eastern Province.
  • His one Test match was the second match of the 1898–99 series against the English cricket team led by Lord Hawke.
  • South Africa, having led by 85 on the first innings, were dismissed for just 35 in the second innings and lost the match by 210 runs.
  • Prince scored 5 and 1, did not keep wicket and never played Test cricket again. In 1901, Prince was a member of an unofficial South African side that visited England at the height of the Boer War; no Tests were played on that tour, but several matches were arranged against first-class counties.
  • He retired after the 1904–05 season.
