milton followed in the footsteps of notable international alumni including graham gooch, allan lamb, david steele and, more recently, tom westley in representing claremont.
south africa stars jacques kallis and gary kirsten have also played for the club.
milton enjoyed a fruitful spell with claremont, scoring an unbeaten century against bellville in addition to three fifties.
