He received his primary schooling in South Africa at Johannesburg and his secondary education back in Rhodesia at Bulawayo.[1] He later studied in England at Wadham College at the University of Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against Gloucestershire at Oxford in 1953.
