**Colin** "**Tich**" **Wesley** (5 September 1937 – 5 March 2022) was a South African [cricketer](/source/Cricket) who played in three [Test matches](/source/Test_cricket) in 1960.

Wesley played [first-class cricket](/source/First-class_cricket) for [Natal](/source/KwaZulu-Natal_cricket_team) from 1957 to 1966 as a middle-order batsman and left-arm spin bowler. He toured England with the [South African team in 1960](/source/South_African_cricket_team_in_England_in_1960). His highest first-class score was 131, made after Natal [followed on](/source/Follow-on) against the [New Zealanders in 1961–62](/source/New_Zealand_cricket_team_in_South_Africa_in_1961%E2%80%9362).[2] His only century in the [Currie Cup](/source/Currie_Cup_(cricket)) came in his last first-class season, when he captained Natal B against [North Eastern Transvaal](/source/Northerns_cricket_team) and made 120 in the first innings, the only century in the match.[3]

He briefly returned to provincial cricket to captain the Natal team, which played under the name "C. Wesley's XI", in the first season of [South Africa's domestic List A competition](/source/Nissan_Shield) in 1969–70; they lost the final by two runs.[4]

He owned Wesley's, a chain of tobacco stores in South Africa.[5] He died at home in [Johannesburg](/source/Johannesburg) on 5 March 2022, at the age of 84.[6]
