Rex Sellers (cricketer)

Reginald Hugh Durning Sellers OAM (born 20 August 1940) is a former Test cricketer (Australian test cap 230). A tall leg-spinner, he played one Test match for Australia in India, in October 1964, in which he was bowled for a duck, took one catch and bowled five overs for 17 runs without taking a wicket. He is the only second India born cricketer who played test match for Australia.

His playing career was severely restricted when cysts developed under a tendon attached to his spinning finger, and he retired after the 1966–67 season.[1] However Sellers (affectionately known as 'Sahib' in cricket circles) has had a long career serving the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) in both selection and administrative roles, and was made a life member of the SACA. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2013 Australia Day Honours, for "service to the sport of cricket, particularly as an administrator."[2]
