At 17 Errol Draper followed his elder brother Ron into the Eastern Province team in the 1951–52 season, taking 6 for 114 in the first innings of his debut Currie Cup match.[2] He played only once more for Eastern Province before following Ron to Griqualand West, where he played as a middle-order batsman and occasional left-arm spinner. His best seasons were 1954–55 (407 runs at an average of 37.00) and 1955–56 (435 at 39.54),[3] but he remained a regular member of the team until 1967–68, when he made his highest score, 118 against Orange Free State, his third century against Orange Free State in his final first-class match.[4] He captained Griqualand West in the Currie Cup in 1959–60 and from 1962–63 to 1967–68.
