Career
Williams, a left-arm fast-medium bowler, was a good enough player in his youth to have represented Rhodesian Nuffield, South African Schools and Rhodesia Country Districts by his 18th birthday. He made his first-class debut in the 1963/64 season, playing for Orange Free State against North Eastern Transvaal. Despite opening the bowling in each innings, he failed to take a wicket.
In 1966 he appeared for Matabeleland against the touring Australian team, in a non first-class fixture.
He took four first innings wickets, Bob Simpson, Bob Cowper, Ian Redpath and Keith Stackpole. When not playing cricket, Williams worked as a farmer, in Inyati.
On 3 August 1978, while on duty as a police reserve, he was killed when a rocket was fired at his vehicle, by Bush War terrorists.
