Former England seamer Robin Jackman, who took 1,402 first-class wickets at an average of 22, has died aged 75.
He played four Tests in the twilight of his career, taking 14 wickets with a best of 4-110, and was a respected commentator after retiring as a player.
His 11 winters coaching and playing in apartheid South Africa led to a Test in West Indies being cancelled in 1980-81.
The Guyana government withheld his visa and as a result England's management decided not to play the Test.
