Allan Lamb is one of the most popular and richest Cricket Player who was born on June 20, 1954 in Langebaan, Western Cape, South Africa. Former captain of the English cricket side. He played in domestic cricket for Western Province, Northamptonshire and Orange Free State.

In 1970, South Africa were banned from international cricket indefinitely because of its government’s policy of apartheid, an overtly racist policy, which led them to play only against the white nations and field only white players. This prevented Lamb from playing International cricket unless he emigrated to another nation. It was while in England that he was persuaded to play for them, having already qualified through his British-born parents, and his obvious talent led him to be selected for the national team only four years after moving there. He made his test debut against India in 1982, and had also made his ODI debut a few days earlier.
In January 1973, Allan made his first team debut at the age of 18 when he played for the Western Province in the Currie Cup. He batted at number three and made 59 and 36 against the Eastern Province. He then had a two-year absence from the game and joined the National Service in the South African Air Force building airfields before returning to the club. Western Province then experimented with Lamb as an opener, at 5 and 6 but 4 was always his true and regular position in the batting order for Western Province. Lamb then had one year playing for Orange Free State, where he scored his highest first-class score of 294, before moving back to the Western Province for the rest of his South African domestic career.
His father Micky was a journeyman player in bowling.
