Minkley was an opening and middle-order batsman who achieved little in his first season, 1962-63. He did not play again for Border until 1967-68, when he was appointed captain, a position he held for the remainder of his career. His only fifty was also his only century: 135 in an innings victory over Griqualand West in 1969-70.[1]

He is one of the three honorary life vice-presidents of Border Cricket.[2]
