Alan Wilkins was a left-arm seam bowler who represented the leading County sides during his cricketing career. He began his career at Glamorgan in 1976 and is known for his heroics in the 1977 County season, wherein he notched up 47 wickets including a couple of 5-fers. He went on to play for Gloucestershire in 1979. His hopes of representing England were shattered post a serious shoulder injury in 1983.

He moved to South Africa in a bid to pursue a career in commentary. Apart from being a part of the leading cricketing events, he has commentated on multiple Rugby World Cups and Wimbledon Championships. Wilkin’s solacing voice is a real treat, his mental acumen being sublime.
