André Odendaal (born 4 May 1954, Queenstown, Cape Province, South Africa) is a South African historian and former first-class cricketer.

Education

Odendaal attended Queen's College in Queenstown, Stellenbosch University, and St John's College, Cambridge,[1] where he gained a PhD in History.[2]

Cricket career

He played for Cambridge University in 1980 and 1983, scoring 61, his only first-class fifty, on debut against Leicestershire.[3] He played nine matches in 1980, scoring 325 runs at an average of 23.21.[4] He played in the annual match against Oxford University, but rain washed out the match before Cambridge could bat. He also played two List A matches for Combined Universities. On his debut he scored 74 against Warwickshire and won the Man of the match award.[5]

He played ten matches for Boland in 1980-81 and 1981–82, but with only moderate personal success, although he played in the team that won the SAB Bowl in 1981-82.[6]

In 1984-85 he became the only white first-class player to play in the non-white South African first-class competition during the apartheid era,[7] appearing for the Transvaal team in 1984-85 and the Western Province team in 1985-86.

After the end of apartheid he served as CEO at Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town and CEO of the Cape Cobras and Western Province cricket teams for ten years.[2] He chaired the UCBSA's Transformation Monitoring Committee from 1998 to 2002. In 2002 he received the President's Award for Sport (Silver Class) for his contribution to bringing about change in sport.[2]

Academic and writing career
