Claude Pagdett Carter, sometimes known as Claude Paget Carter (23 April 1881 in Durban, Colony of Natal – 8 November 1952 in Durban, Natal) was a South African cricketer who played in 10 Tests from 1912 to 1924.[1] [2]
Shortly after leaving the Durban Boys' Model School at the age of 16, Carter began playing first-class cricket for Natal, and eventually played for them from 1898 to 1923, except for a season with Transvaal in 1910–11.[3] He toured England with the South African teams of 1912 and 1924.[4] He was South Africa's leading bowler in the series against Australia in South Africa in 1921–22, when he took 15 wickets at an average of 21.93.[5]
He played a season of club cricket in Yorkshire in 1905,[6] and later played Lancashire League cricket for Lowerhouse in 1925 and 1926, and represented Cornwall in the Minor Counties Championship in 1930 and 1935.
