Arthur Martin Short (born 27 September 1947) is a former South African cricketer. He never played Test cricket for South Africa but was selected on the 1970 squad to tour England[1] and the 1971–72 squad to tour Australia.[2] Both trips were cancelled.
An opening batsman, Short played first-class cricket in South Africa from 1966 to 1975.[3] He top-scored for Natal in their match against the touring Australians in February 1970, scoring 78 and impressing the national selectors.[4]
