George Derek Varnals (24 July 1935 – 9 September 2019) was a South African cricketer who played in three Test matches in the 1964–65 season.
[2] The South African cricket commentator Charles Fortune described him as "a compact and correct player with a good range of shots that came more of timing than of power".
[3] A right-handed batsman, Varnals played South African domestic first-class cricket, for Eastern Province, Transvaal and Natal, between 1955 and 1965.
[3][4] Three centuries in the first half of the 1964–65 season, including one for Natal against the touring MCC side, propelled Varnals into the South African cricket team for the first three Tests against England.
[5] He batted a long way down the order and, although he showed useful adhesion in helping to avert defeat in the second match, his highest score in six innings was only 23.
