Prouting was born at Christchurch in 1938.[2] He played cricket for Christchurch Boys' High School and for the Canterbury under-20 side as well as appearing for Canterbury representative sides during the late 1950s in matches which do not have first-class status, including taking nine wickets in an innings against North Canterbury in 1958–59.[3][4] He played club cricket for the Lancaster Park club in Christchurch and spent time playing in both Auckland and Wellington during the early 1960s.[5] During the mid-1960s he played for Southland, including in the Hawke Cup in 1965–66, Otago B sides and for a Combined Services team before making his first-class debut for Otago at Christmas 1969, opening the bowling for the team against Wellington.[3]
In his three first-class matches, all played between Christmas 1969 and mid-January 1970, Prouting took two wickets and scored 13 runs.[1]
