Ashwell Gavin Prince (born May 28, 1977, Port Elizabeth, Cape Province) is a cricketer who plays Test and One-day International cricket for South Africa. He is noted for his gritty style of batting. He is strong through the offside. He has struggled against Shane Warne in the recent Test series against Australia, having been dismissed by him 7 times in 6 Test matches and 11 times in total. He is often regarded as a good fielder. Prince has a good conversion rate from fifties to hundreds.
Following injuries to Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis, Prince was appointed Test captain on July 12, 2006. At the age of 29, he becomes the first non-white man to captain the mostly-white South African cricket team.
His conversion rate in Test cricket has been impressive as the first 5 times he passed 50 resulted in 4 centuries and a lowest score of 93.
