Donald James Pringle (May 1 1932, Prestwich, Bury, England – October 4 1975, Nairobi, Kenya) was an East African cricketer. He represented East Africa in two One day Internationals in the inaugural 1975 World Cup. He was born in Lancashire but moved to Kenya as a landscape consultant in the late 1950s. His son Derek was born there in 1958. Like his son, Don was a fast-medium bowler, and he played in two of East Africa's three matches in 1975. He didn't take a wicket ... but he was 43 at the time. Sadly, he was killed in a car crash later that same year, returning home from a cricket match in Nairobi in which he'd taken 6 for 16. His son, the cricketer Derek Pringle represented Cambridge University, Essex and England and is currently the Cricket Correspondent of The Daily Telegraph.
