The ban on South Africa in international cricket restricted his test career to seven appearances, all of them against Australia, between 1967 and 1970. 41 Test wickets at an average of 15.02 suggest what he might have achieved in the coming years had South Africa been allowed to play at the highest level. Alongwith Barry Richards and Graeme Pollock, Procter was responsible in his side inflicting two successive series defeats on Australia by margins of 3-1 and 4-0.

Cricket: Mike Procter - SouthAfrica.info (1448 words)
Unfortunately for Mike Procter, at just 23 years of age he played his last test, as South Africa was banned from international cricket because of the apartheid policies of the country’s government.
Against Essex in 1978 Procter made 203, an innings that included 26 fours and four sixes, and such was the standard of his batsmanship that Wisden said it was “generally regarded as the best innings seen on the ground since Hammond’s heyday,” comparing the South African star to the great Walter Hammond.
Procter’s test career ended in 1970, but he gave a glimpse of what the game missed out on in South Africa in 1976 when he claimed a record 59 wickets in the Currie Cup.
