Career

Seager was born in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (today Harare, Zimbabwe), and educated at Peterhouse Boys' School.[1] He later attended Jesus College, Cambridge, where he made his first-class debut as a right-handed batsman for Cambridge University against Leicestershire in 1971. He made seven further first-class appearances for the university in 1971.[2] His most successful match for Cambridge was his last, the 1971 University Match: he scored 23 and 19 and ran out two Oxford batsmen with his accurate throws from the field.[1][3] Seager also played four matches for Berkshire in the 1970 Minor Counties Championship.[4]

Seager returned to Zimbabwe. He represented Zimbabwe Country Districts in several non-first-class matches against touring international teams in the 1980s.[5]
