Provis made two appearances in the 1906 Minor Counties Championship for Cornwall against Dorset and Berkshire.[1]
He later worked for the Kolar Gold Fields and made a single first-class appearance when in the British Raj for the Europeans against the Indians in 1923.[2] The Europeans won the toss and elected to bat first, making 104 all out, during which Provis was dismissed for a duck by Rama Krishnappa. In the Indians first-innings of 161 all out, Provis took the wickets of M. Venkataramanjulu and T. Bangarababu to finish with figures of 2/32 from fourteen overs. The Europeans then made 67 all out in their second-innings, with Provis again dismissed for a duck, this time by C. R. Ganapathy. The Indians won the match by ten wickets.[3]
He married Bertha Marks in 1923. She died in 1936 in Brazil, where he worked for a gold mining company.[4]
