FORMER top Eastern Province cricketer Philip Amm died at his home near the Stone Crescent Hotel outside Grahamstown yesterday.
Amm, 51, who opened the batting for Eastern Province through the 1980s and ’90s and made a double-century in the 1989 Currie Cup final against Transvaal which helped EP win the Currie Cup for the first time ever, died from causes which are yet to be established.
Grahamstown police spokeswoman Captain Mali Govender said police were called to the home at 3.30pm.
“We have opened an inquest docket into the death,” Govender said. While the cause of death was unknown at this stage, no foul play was suspected, she said. -Shaun Gillham
