Donald Smith

Donald Victor Smith (14 June 1923 – 10 January 2021) was an English cricketer, who played in three Tests for England in 1957. He was born in Broadwater, Sussex, England. The cricket writer, Colin Bateman, commented that "Sri Lanka's historic first victory over England early in 1993 will have given at least one English Test player a certain amount of satisfaction. Don Smith, a steady left-handed opener capable of some useful seam bowling, became Sri Lanka's national coach in the late 1980s". In Adelaide, he was coach of the Ingle Farm District Cricket Club for around 18 months, commencing in the 1985/86 season. On the death of Reg Simpson in November 2013, he became the oldest living English Test cricketer.

Smith died in January 2021 at the age of 97. Following his death, Ian Thomson became England's oldest living Test cricketer.
